NEW DELHI: With India gearing up to submit its updated climate action pledge ahead of the UN climate summit ( COP30 ) next month, the Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav on Saturday headed to Brazil for a pre-COP meeting, scheduled on Oct 13-14in Brasilia, to put forward the country’s expectation from the main annual conference next month.
Besides pitching for Global South ’s demand for more predictable climate finance, he is likely to flag the need for adaptation strategies and the functioning of the global carbon market.
India has time and again raised that the financial support of $300 billion annually to the Global South (developing countries) by 2035 is insufficient and stressed that developed countries have the moral responsibility to support developing countries for implementation of their climate action pledges. Yadav is expected to flag it at the pre-COP meeting as well.
At last year’s UN climate summit (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, developed countries had agreed to mobilise merely $300 billion annually by 2035, far short of the $1.3-trillion target set by developing countries.
On his way back, Yadav will attend the G20 working group ministerial meeting on climate and environmental sustainability on Oct 16-17 in Cape Town, South Africa, where he is expected to set the tone for COP30 which is to be held in Belem, Brazil from Nov 10 to 21.
"India is expected to submit its national adaptation plan and updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) - climate action plan for 2035 - to the UN climate body ahead of COP30," said an official.
India's first national adaptation plan will be a blueprint for the country's approach to integrate adaptation into national development plans and policies across economic sectors. It has been framed to build resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate-related risks across various sectors/regions such as agriculture, water resources, the Himalayan region, coastal regions, health, disaster management etc.
The NDC will, on the other hand, specify the country's greenhouse gas emission reduction target and a goal on enhanced footprints of electricity from non-fossil fuel resources by 2035. The present NDC has such plans till 2030.
