India prioritizes climate finance and support for vulnerable communities at COP29

India will focus on climate finance, accountability, and support for vulnerable communities at COP29, starting November 11, 2024. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav may not attend, with Kirti Vardhan Singh leading the delegation. India aims to hold developed nations accountable for their climate commitments and push for equitable energy transitions. The country will not host a pavilion this year, reflecting its balancing act between development and climate action. The conference will address the New Collective Quantified Goal for climate finance, crucial for developing nations. The Global Carbon Budget report on November 13 will provide insights into current emission trends and progress toward Paris Agreement targets.
