Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an international conference in Delhi that India's per capita carbon emissions are less than half the global average, while developed countries emit six times more per person. He argued that developing nations have been unfairly blamed for climate change, and highlighted India's historical position and cultural approach to environmental stewardship. The event, organized by the National Green Tribunal, brought together judges from 17 countries to discuss policy gaps and environmental governance. Modi also launched an NGT mobile app, though details on its function were not provided. The focus on per capita metrics raises broader questions about how India will balance growth with emissions reductions, especially as total emissions continue to rise.
