At the COP28 high-level segment in Dubai, PM Narendra Modi also proposed to host COP33 in India in 2028.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday stated that India has achieved its emission intensity targets 11 years ahead of committed time frame, news agency PTI reported. 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."

At the COP28 high-level segment in Dubai, PM Narendra Modi also proposed to host COP33 in India in 2028. "India is committed to UN Framework for Climate Change process. That is why, from this stage, I propose to host COP33 Summit in India in 2028," he stated. 

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.
