Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended India's ecological-economic equilibrium at COP28, highlighting its 17% global population share with less than 4% carbon emissions. He affirmed India's commitment to NDC targets, aiming for a 45% reduction in emissions intensity and a 50% share of non-fossil fuels by 2030. Proposing COP33 in India in 2028, Modi advocated the Green Credit Initiative for carbon sinks. The PM emphasized global responsibility for climate welfare, stating, "Mother Earth is looking towards us." Modi's proactive stance made him the sole leader at COP28's opening plenary, alongside COP28 President Al Jaber and UN Climate Change President Steill.
