Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a climate conference in New Delhi that developed nations emit around six times more carbon per person than India, arguing that climate discussions must account for per-capita emissions and development needs. He noted India's per-capita emissions are less than half the global average and highlighted efforts in renewable energy, rooftop solar, electric mobility, and nuclear power. The event, organized by the National Green Tribunal, brought together judicial and environmental representatives from 17 countries. Modi called for a broader approach to climate protection that reflects equity, a position India has consistently raised in international talks. The speech underscores the ongoing debate over responsibility for emissions and the pace of clean energy transition in developing economies.
