At the International Conference on 'The Future of Environment and Climate Dynamics' in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi argued that developing countries are being unfairly blamed for global carbon emissions. He noted that India's per capita emissions remain less than half the global average, pointing to historical inequities in who actually caused the climate crisis. The remarks touch on the ongoing debate over climate justice and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. This statement is likely to reignite discussions on how emission reduction targets are assigned and funded. For those tracking carbon markets and climate finance, the key question is whether developed nations will back up their historical responsibility with concrete financial and technological support. The article captures a critical moment in climate diplomacy, but lacks details on any specific policy proposals or commitments.
