At the recently concluded COP28, India’s union minister for power and new and renewable energy stressed the importance of achieving a 43% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030, acknowledging emissions as a primary contributor to global warming. Emphasising about the vital discussions that transpired during the 28th annual United Nations climate meeting in Dubai, the minister highlighted India’s position with being one of the lowest per capita emissions globally.
COP, short for ‘Conference of the Parties,’ brought together nations that committed to the original UN climate agreement in 1992. Notably, COP28 marked a significant milestone as countries collectively acknowledged the necessity to shift away from fossil fuels in energy systems.
The event served as a global platform for collaborative climate action, reflecting a shared commitment to an action-oriented approach for a more sustainable and healthier planet. As reported by ETEnergyworld.com, India, guided by the principle of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is a family), contributed to the positive atmosphere of cooperation and camaraderie during COP28.
