Nov 04 (AIR News): Environment, Forest, and Climate Change Minister Bhupender Yadav will lead Indian delegation to attend the 27th Session of Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC (COP 27). The conference is scheduled to be held at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt from 6th to 18th November. 

At COP 27, countries come together to take action toward achieving the world's collective climate goals as agreed under the Paris agreement and the convention. Heads of States and Government will attend the conference. India is fully engaged with the process and is supportive of the efforts by Government of Egypt for substantive outcomes at COP 27.

Environment, Forest and Climate Change Ministry said, India is committed to both domestic action and multilateral cooperation on climate change, and will continue to fight all global environmental concerns in the call to protect humanity’s planetary home. 

India is looking forward to substantial progress in the discussions related to climate finance and clarity on its definition. The goal of 100 billion US Dollars per year of climate finance by 2020 and every year thereafter through 2025 is yet to be achieved.

India will emphasize again its invitation to all countries to join the LiFE movement - Lifestyle for Environment, a pro-people and pro-planet effort. It seeks to shift the world from mindless and wasteful consumption to mindful and deliberate utilization of natural resources.
