India Prioritizes Equitable Climate Finance and National Circumstances at COP31
Ahead of COP31 in Antalya, India, led by Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, will advocate for equitable climate finance, emphasizing predictable, public, and concessional funding that avoids increasing developing countries' debt. India will oppose top-down mitigation targets, stressing nationally determined contributions and party-driven processes. Key priorities include capacity building, technology transfer, adaptation, and respecting national circumstances, while rejecting fossil fuel phase-out roadmaps to ensure energy access. India will also resist trade-linked barriers like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, aligning with Global South interests.
