Because, development is the first defence against climate change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>India should stop diverting its scarce resources, manpower, and attention to global problems created by developed countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At COP28, India must demand a fair share of its carbon budget or equivalent reparations to bring about fairness within the global order.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>India should stress for financial and technological support from the developed countries.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At the COP 15, developed countries promised to provide $100 billion dollars a year to developing countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But,&nbsp; the Glasgow Climate Pact recorded an unprecedented \u201cregret\u201d on the failure of the developed countries to follow the promise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insists countries to revisit their targets as per the current emission rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example: For a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees C,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The U.S. would have to reach net-zero in 2025, rather than 2050.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Germany by 2030 instead of 2045.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The EU-28 bloc by 2031 instead of 2050.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recognise \u2018fair share of the carbon budget\u2019 as a strategic national resource.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Because, the reserves of developing nations are depleting rapidly due to over-exploitation by developed countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Need to shift for renewable energy\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 2022, oil, coal and gas accounted for 30%, 27% and 23% of the world\u2019s total energy, while solar and wind energy together contributed only 2.4%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s proactive engagement, collaborative efforts with developed and emerging economies, and unwavering dedication to confronting climate challenges position the nation as an exemplary advocate for climate financing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, the fulfilment of financial commitments by developed countries and transformative changes in the international financial system are pivotal to delivering climate financing at the scale necessary to address the global climate crisis<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more\"
