RNE Network.
At the Leaders’ Summit of CoP30 in Belém, Brazil, Ambassador of India to Brazil Dinesh Bhatia reaffirmed India’s commitment to equitable climate action guided by the principles of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC).
India thanked Brazil for hosting CoP30 on the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and welcomed the creation of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF), joining it as an Observer.
Highlighting progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India noted a 36% reduction in the emission intensity of GDP between 2005 and 2020, and that non-fossil power now forms over 50% of its installed capacity.
India urged developed countries to accelerate emission cuts and deliver adequate, predictable climate finance, technology, and capacity-building support. It called for the next decade of climate action to focus on implementation, resilience, and shared responsibility.
