PM Modi calls upon developed nations to meet their commitments for climate actions

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said successful climate actions also need adequate financing and for this developed countries need to fulfill their commitments on finance and technology transfer.

Mr Modi was delivering the inaugural address at The Energy and Resources Institute’s (TERI) World Sustainable Development Summit through a video message last evening.

The Prime Minister said, energy requirements of the people of India are expected to nearly double in the next 20 years and denying this energy would be denying life itself to millions.

The Prime Minister said, a lot has been said over the last 50 years on climate



issue, since the 1972 Stockholm Conference but very little has been done. He said, but in India, they have walked the talk.
