India calls for implementation of Paris Agreement in letter and spirit through Global Stocktake process with focus on equity and climate justice
India has urged world leaders at the global climate talks COP28 to implement the Paris Agreement in letter and spirit through the Global Stocktake process while maintaining the focus on the principles of equity and climate justice.
Speaking at the closing plenary of the COP28, Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change Bhupendra Yadav said that the collective efforts have sent positive signals to the world in reinforcing commitment to maintaining the temperature goals set in Paris.
Adopted after nearly two weeks of hectic negotiations, the first Global Stocktake deal, being termed the UAE consensus, urges countries to accelerate efforts toward the phase down of unabated coal power, which is a climb down after India and China strongly resisted the singling out of coal.
