INDIA laid out its climate action priorities for the next six years during the high-level ministerial roundtable on pre-2030 ambition at COP29, while stressing on the need for "mutual trust" among nations.
Leena Nandan, Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and Deputy Leader of the Indian Delegation, said the trust is critical for achieving climate goals and depends on enhanced financial resources, technology transfer, capacity-building, and market-based mechanisms.
Referring to the 2024 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Synthesis Report, Nandan noted that while the situation is serious, it is not without hope. "The cumulative CO2 emissions in the period 2020 to 2030 are likely to use up 86% of the remaining carbon budget. Therefore, our discussions and deliberations are happening at a crucial time to act decisively," she said.
