Speaking at World Climate Action Summit in the United Arab Emirates, PM Modi stated: "Today, India has presented an excellent example of the balance between ecology and economy before the world. Despite India being home to 17% of population of the world, its contribution to Global Carbon Emissions is less than 4%. India is one of those few economies of the world that is on the path to meet NDC targets."

PM Modi laid down India's goal in bringing down the emissions intensity by 45% till 2030. "We have decided to increase the share of non-fossil fuel to 50%. We will also keep going ahead towards our goal of net zero by 2070," he stated. 

"You have continuously supported the issues of climate justice, climate finance and green credit raised by me. With our collective efforts, the belief has increased that for the welfare of the world, it is necessary to protect everyone's interests," he further stated. 

At COP28, PM Modi further proposed Green Credit Initiative which focuses on creating carbon sinks through people's participation. "Mother Earth is looking towards us to protect her future, we have to succeed, we have to be decisive," he stated.
