The statement of the nation

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC26th )’s Conference of Parties (COP26) began on Sunday in Glasgow, Scotland, and ended on November 12. On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke at the COP26 World Leaders’ Summit.

“I’ve arrived in Glasgow. I’ll be attending the COP26 Summit, where I hope to collaborate with other world leaders on climate change mitigation and articulate India’s efforts”, Said Prime minister Narendra Modi. As he arrived at his hotel in Glasgow to the sound of Scottish bagpipes, the Prime Minister was met by a huge throng of Indian diaspora representatives who chanted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.” Everything from drinking water sources to affordable homes must be made climate-resilient. Our many projects in India, such as Tap Water for All, Clean India Mission, and Clean Cooking Fuel For All, have helped our compatriots in need adapt and improve their quality of life. Adaptation will have to be a significant component of our development programs and undertakings.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised the issue of climate change with extraordinary care and resolved to set the goals to fight with it for a healthier world. 

On November 2, Narendra Modi addressed the world with these words. 

“It was not my purpose when I first arrived in Paris for the Climate Summit to add another pledge to the many that had already been made around the world. I came with a sense of pity for humanity. I came as a representative of a society that preached ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah,’ which translates to “All Happiness.” As a result, for me, the Paris meeting was more of a mood and a promise than a summit. And it was 125 crore Indians who were making those promises to themselves, not the rest of the world.” 

Though the speech was very long. We are here giving you the gist of it, which is in favour of the country, world and nature. 

The point climate agenda of PM Modi

• By 2030, India’s non-fossil energy capacity will be 500 GW.
• By 2030, India will have met 50% of its energy needs with renewable energy.
•  India’s economy will have fewer than 45 percent carbon intensity in 2030.
• India will reach net zero emissions by the year 2070.

The climate finance goals of the world and PM Modi’s urges 

According to Prime Minister Modi’s statements, India expects developed countries to make climate funding of one trillion dollars accessible as soon as possible. Today, tracking climate financing is equally as vital as monitoring climate mitigation progress.

He went on to say that the promises made about climate funding have so far shown to be empty. “While we are all upping our climate action targets, the world’s climate financing ambitions cannot stay the same as they were when the Paris Agreement was signed.

In the concern of Indian railway system

Prime Minister Modi stated, “Every year, Indian Railways transports more passengers than the entire world’s population. This massive railway system has set a goal of becoming “Net Zero” by 2030. This project alone will result in a 60 million tonne reduction in annual emissions.”  

The agriculture sector and Climate Change

Prime Minister Modi stated, “Climate change is a major concern for the agriculture industry in most developing countries. Cropping patterns alter, there are untimely rains/floods, and crops are frequently devastated by typhoons.”

‘LIFE,’ A movement in one word 

PM Modi delivered a new motto for long term growth in his speech. He believes that ‘LIFE,’ or Lifestyle for the Environment, might serve as a foundation for this.

“Today’s world acknowledges that lifestyle has a serious influence on climate change. In front of you all, I propose a one-word revolution. This is the term LIFE, which stands for “Lifestyle for the Environment.” Today, it is important that we all work together to advance LIFE as a movement, “he stated. 

Apart from these important updates, the are things to be noticed PM Modi stated that while India has roughly 17% of the world’s population. Its only accounts for about 5% of global emissions. India is the only biggest economy that has followed through on the Paris Agreements in letter and spirit. It an according to the entire world. Adaptation has not received the same level of attention as mitigation. This is unfair to developing countries. They disproportionately affected climate change. Climate change is a significant big challenge for agriculture in India.

Another important point on COP26 Summit in Glasgow

At the COP26 Summit, India’s focus will be on the country’s “ambitious” post-2020 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goals under the Paris Agreement.

These goals include reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. The obtaining 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. Another significant area of attention for India will be predictable and continuous financing of green technology for developing countries.

PM Modi and Boris Johnson are planning to meet immediately after Monday’s opening ceremony. Including cultural performances and a speech by the UK Prime Minister. The Summit, according to Johnson, would be the “world’s moment of truth,” he has urged world leaders to take advantage of it. “Everyone is wondering if we will embrace this opportunity or let it pass us by,” he remarked ahead of the two-week conference. His discussions with Prime Minister Modi are anticipate to centre on the UK-India climate cooperation. A review of the 2030 Roadmap for a Stronger UK-India Strategic Partnership. It is the two leaders sign during a virtual summit in May.

The UK will offer the World Bank an “India Green Guarantee” to unlock 750 million pounds. It announces for green projects across India.

Clean and resilient infrastructure in sectors. These are transport, clean energy, and urban development will support by green guarantee financing.
