Noting that the countries in the Global South have had an immense impact of climate change on them, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that to fulfil the aspirations of the Global South, climate finance and technology are essential.
The prime minister underlined that countries in the Global South, including India, have a smaller role to play in climate change but the impact of climate change on them is immense.
“We all know that countries in the Global South, including India, have had less of a role to play in climate change. But the impact of climate change on them is immense. Despite a lack of resources, these countries are committed to climate action,” the Prime Minister said at the COP28 Presidency’s session on Transforming Climate Finance today.
“In order to fulfil the aspirations of the Global South, climate finance and technology are essential,” he said.
