Every country in the world should think above vested interests for the protection of world climate, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually on Monday.
In his World Environment Day address, he said that this consciousness towards climate change is not limited to India only, the global support for the initiative is increasing all over the world.
PM Modi said that the developing and underdeveloped countries of the world are suffering from the flawed policies of a few developed countries.
“For decades, there was no country to stop this attitude of some developed countries,' he said as he expressed delight that India has raised the issue of Climate Justice in front of every such country.
The Prime Minister highlighted that India in the 21st century is moving forward with a very clear roadmap for climate change and environmental protection.
Underlining that India has created a balance of present requirements and future vision, he stated that necessary help has been provided to the poorest of the poor while huge steps have been taken keeping in mind the energy needs of the future.
“This consciousness towards climate change is not limited to India only, the global support for the initiative is increasing all over the world”, the Prime Minister said.
He recalled making a request to the world community on Environment Day last year where he had asked to share innovative solutions to bring climate-friendly behavioural change in individuals and communities.
Modi expressed happiness that thousands of colleagues including students, researchers, experts from different domains, professionals, NGOs and common citizens from around 70 countries shared their views and solutions that are measurable and scalable.
