New Delhi, Feb. 26 -- Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav on Wednesday reiterated India's commitment to meet its climate goals, even as he highlighted the prevailing inequity that underlines climate talks. India's climate action vision is to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030; reduce emissions intensity of GDP by 45% from 2005 levels; achieve net-zero by 2070; advance the National Green Hydrogen Mission and build climate-resilient infrastructure, Yadav said. "Climate vision must be anchored in realism and powered by ambition and India's vision is clear," he added in his address at the silver jubilee edition of the World Sustainable Development Summit organised by The Energy and Resources Institute. He cautioned that this transformation will require a global vision also that includes tripling renewable energy globally; doubling energy efficiency; scaling adaptation finance to match mitigation finance; and reforming multilateral development banks to unlock trillions in climate finance. "Climate ambition and climate finance must advance together. When financial mechanisms are transparent, predictable, and inclusive, transformation moves from promise to practice," he said. Yadav further said that the first Global Stocktake (at COP28 in Dubai in 2023) under the Paris Agreement has made one reality unmistakably clear. "Globally, we are not on the trajectory required to limit global warming to 1.5degC. Emission reductions remain insufficient. Adaptation finance remains inadequate. SDG implementation is uneven. This is not a crisis of science. It is a crisis of scale, speed, and systemic alignment," he said, adding that transformation must move beyond incremental policy refinement. Bharrat Jagdeo, vice president, Guayana who also addressed the conference said the biggest issue confronting the world right now is the need to raise ambition to achieve the climate goals. "With the absence of the United States of America at the table and at this time when we have to raise ambition it would be very, very difficult for us to achieve the climate goals without US participation," Jagdeo said. Siddharth Sharma, CEO of the Tata Trusts said there is an inherent bias in the way narratives are framed. "...when you talk about emissions and when we say that per capita emissions are lower than the world average by almost one half or one third, we're told no that's not what matters, what matters is your absolute number."...
