Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India bears no responsibility for global environmental degradation, implicitly addressing Western nations.
Speaking to a large gathering of Indian-Americans in New York, he emphasised, “India represents about 17 per cent of the world’s population, yet our carbon emissions account for less than four per cent”, according to a report by PTI.
PM Modi recently met with US President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, on September 21, as part of his three-day US visit, where he also attended the fourth Quad Leaders Summit alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.
PM Modi highlighted India’s commitment to green energy, noting the significant number of green jobs being created. He asserted, “Our carbon emission is almost negligible,” and contrasted India’s energy strategy with the carbon fuel-driven growth options available to other nations, as reported by PTI.
He attributed this commitment to India’s cultural reverence for nature, which drives the country’s investments in solar, wind, hydro, green hydrogen, and nuclear energy.
