Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that India is one of the few nations on track to meet its intended nationally determined contribution (NDC) in the fight against climate change. He also suggested that India host COP33 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,” PM Modi said in his remarks at the opening ceremony of High-level segment of COP28 being hosted by UAE.
He said India has presented an excellent example of the balance between ecology and economy before the world.

“Despite India being home to 17 per cent of population of the world, its contribution to Global Carbon Emissions is less than 4 per cent. India is one of those few economies of the world that is on the path to meet NDC targets,” he said.

Reviewing the accomplishments made possible by the Paris Agreement and outlining a future course for climate action will be possible at COP28.
Prior to departing for Dubai, the Prime Minister stated that India has demonstrated leadership in addressing climate change.

“Our achievements in different sectors like renewable energy, energy efficiency, afforestation, energy conservation, Mission LiFE are testament to the commitment of our people towards mother Earth,” he said.
The Prime Minister will also be participating in three high-level side events in Dubai, of which two are being co-hosted by India.
