Hindustan Times|July 12, 2023
We (India) are at a midway point... There is a war going on for a year and a half but we in India see these challenges during our G20 presidency as opportunities. - AMITABH KANT, G20 Sherpa
India on course for a low carbon future, says Kant

Biofuels and green hydrogen are at the centre of India’s energy transition pathway, G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said on Tuesday at a Hindustan Times event on sustainable development goals and biofuels, part of a series of events HT is hosting on India’s G20 agenda.

In spite of several challenges facing the world today, India as G20 president sees opportunities in them, particularly on energy transition and climate action, he said.

“Energy is a critical element of G20. It has been figuring in G20 since 2009. Energy transition plays a critical role in achieving net zero goals. India’s G20 presidency is being hosted at a time when we are facing several challenges. The global economy is seeing a slowdown. One third of the world is in slow down phase. Germany got into a recession. Around 75 countries are facing global debt crisis. There is a challenge of achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs); only 12 are on track out of 17,” Kant said.
