Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the United Nations’ World Climate Action Summit (COP28) in Dubai. The Prime Minister’s office announced that Modi will be present at the conference from November 30th to December 1st, 2023.
This visit comes on the heels of India’s G20 presidency, during which the nation played a pivotal role in steering global leaders towards a commitment to triple renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade. While the G20 summit concluded with an agreement on reducing coal power, it fell short of establishing major climate objectives.
The upcoming COP28 is seen as a platform for India to build upon its G20 achievements. “Climate change has been an important priority area of India’s G20 Presidency… COP-28 will provide an opportunity to take forward these successes,” stated the government.
