Besides India, countries such as Indonesia, South Africa, Argentina and Senegal have been invited to the peak of the seven largest economies in the world in an effort to strengthen international collaboration on major issues such as climate, health and energy security actions
Encouraging back to the misunderstanding that developing countries cause greater damage to the environment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India, which is home to 17% of the world population, only contributed 5% of global carbon emissions.
Overcoming a special session about “investing in a better future: climate, energy, health” at the G7 Summit in Germany, Modi said it is important to remember that access to energy should not be the privilege of the rich only with a background in the background of energy costs increase Because of geopolitical tension.
Besides India, countries such as Indonesia, South Africa, Argentina and Senegal have been invited to the peak of the seven largest economies in the world in an effort to strengthen international collaboration on major issues such as climate, health and energy security.
“Unfortunately, it is believed that there is a fundamental collision between the goals of world development and environmental protection. There is also another misunderstanding that poor countries and poor people cause more damage to the environment, “Modi said, speaking in Hindi.
“Seventeen percent of the world’s population is in India. But the contribution of our global carbon emissions is only 5%. The main reason behind this is our lifestyle, which is based on co-existence theory with nature, “he added.
India has shown for thousands of years, including during great prosperity in the past and as a large economy that grew the fastest, that its commitment to the environment has not been “diluted even a single bit”, he said.
“You all will also agree … that energy access should not be the privilege of rich people – poor families have the same rights about energy. And today when energy costs are very high due to geopolitical tension, it is more important to remember this, “Modi said.
India has sent LED tubers and cleaned the gas to the door to the door and showed millions of tons of carbon emissions to be prevented while ensuring energy for the poor.
The state dedication to climate commitment is reflected in its performance, because it reaches the target to produce 40% of energy from non-fossil sources nine years before the target of 2030, while the target of combining ethanol 10% in gasoline is reached five months in front of the target. India has the first solar powered airport in the world and the railroad system will be zero clean in this decade, Modi said.
He hopes that rich countries G7 will support India’s efforts, large markets for clean energy technology. “G7 countries can invest in research, innovation and manufacturing in this field. The scale that India can provide for every new technology can make it affordable for the whole world, “he added.
Furthermore Modi said the health of human and planet was interconnected, and this is why India adopts the “One World, One Health” approach. During Pandemi Covid-19, India discovered the creative use of digital technology for health, and G7 countries could help India to bring such innovations to developing countries, he added.
He noted that he had called for a movement known as life, or lifestyle for the environment, at the COP26 meeting at Glasgow last year. India launched a global initiative campaign for life on this year’s World Environment Day.
“The purpose of this campaign is to encourage an environmentally friendly lifestyle. We can mention the followers of this movement ‘Triple-P’ or ‘Planet People’, and we all must take responsibility to increase the number of Triple-P people in our own country, “he said.
Yoga and traditional medicines in many countries are assets that can be used for holistic health, he said, added that who has decided to establish a global center for traditional medicine in India. This center will be a traditional medical system warehouse from all over the world and encourage research in this field.
