India is at the forefront of the global battle against climate change, with the country fulfilling its environment-related commitments, Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said.
Speaking at the Mint India Public Policy Summit in New Delhi, Goyal said India is the fourth best performer globally in terms of fulfilling Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) promised at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21).
"We have a United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that every country is required to file every two years. Many countries don't. We are among those who file every two years. So, this is one nation where we don't need to preach or teach about climate change and sustainability," said Goyal, who was the chief guest at the event.
Measures to combat climate change are gaining significance amid the growing use of legislation such as carbon tax in international trade.
