Climate change threatens survival of people: India speaks for developing countries

The statement was delivered at the HighLevel Ministerial Dialogue Climate Change Adaptation, during the COP29 to the UN Climate Change Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

"Developing countries are suffering from the impacts of climate change largely due to the historical emissions of developed countries. For us as developing countries, our people's lives - their very survival - and their livelihoods are at stake," read a statement by India, delivered yesterday at the High-Level Ministerial Dialogue Climate Change Adaptation, during the COP29 UN Climate Change Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

On the importance of accessibility to credible Climate Finance to the Global South, the statement said: "The COP28 Global stocktake decision emphasised the need to bridge the tremendous gap in adaptation, gaps in implementation that arise from the lack of sufficient attention and resources."
