Advocating for strong global cooperation against climate change, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it must be ensured that these actions don’t compromise the development priorities of the Global South.

Prime Minister Modi who is in Dubai for the COP28 Climate Summit spoke to UAE-based newspaper Aletihad, saying that India is the only country that is on track to achieving its National Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Regarding climate finance, PM Modi said that he has always maintained that climate change is a collective challenge that demands a unified global response

“It is essential to recognise that developing countries have not contributed in the creation of the problem. Yet developing countries are willing to be a part of the solution,” he added.

“But, they cannot contribute without access to the financing and technology needed…I have therefore advocated strongly for global cooperation for ensuring requisite climate financing and technology transfer,” PM Modi further said.
