The Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC provides a unique opportunity to impart momentum for collective action towards combating the shared challenge of climate change.
During COP-26 in Glasgow, the Prime Minister had announced five specific targets, titled “Panchamrit”, as India’s unprecedented contribution to climate action. He had also announced Mission Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) on that occasion.
Climate change has been an important priority area of India’s G20 Presidency, and significant new steps have been captured in the New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration and other outcomes during India’s Presidency. COP-28 will provide an opportunity to take forward these successes.
