Broader Consensus Over Cut In Global Emissions At Petersberg Climate Dialogue: Yadav
Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav on Thursday said the Petersberg Climate Dialogue concluded in Berlin with delegates having worked towards laying the groundwork for joint decisions at COP28. In a series of tweets, he said there was a broader consensus over the need for a drastic cut in global emissions and a global, binding target for the expansion of renewables.
Yadav said India put forth its side strongly at the discussions. At the event, it was reiterated that recognising the need for support towards a just, affordable and inclusive energy transition is crucial in the spirit of leaving no one behind.
"Following the clean energy pathway, to protect the livelihood of the local population and local economy, which depend on the existing energy system, focus on diversifying the economy and creation of new livelihood opportunities are required", said Yadav.
He further said the Global Stocktake outcome should focus on how climate change impacts, actions and responses have a bearing on the developmental priorities of developing countries including the eradication of poverty.
