India Leading In Efforts For Environmental Protection: PM
Sustainable development is the need of the hour. Inspired by our centuries-old ethos of staying in harmony with nature, the 1.4 billion Indians are making every possible effort to make our earth cleaner and greener, said the Prime Minister while addressing the Rotary International World Convention.
He also listed India’s initiatives like the International Solar Alliance, ‘One Sun, One World, One Grid’, and LIFE - Lifestyle for Environment. He also said that the world community-appreciated India's commitment to net zero by 2070.
Modi said as India is home to one-seventh of humanity, at such a scale, any achievement of India will have a positive impact on the world.
He cited the Covid-19 vaccine story and efforts to achieve the elimination of TB by 2025, 5 years before the global target of 2030, as examples.
