PM Modi introduced the ‘P3 (Pro-Planet People) movement’ underlines India’s climate change dedication at World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos Agenda 2022. PM Modi highlighted the challenges that our lifestyle causes for the climate. “Throw away culture and consumerism have increased the climate challenge. It is important to move from today’s ‘take-make-use-dispose’ economy to a circular economy”, he said.
The Prime Minister further said that India is making policies, making decisions about the present and the future of the next 25 years. “In this period, India has aimed for high growth, health and wellness. This period of growth will also be green and clean. Continuing the tradition of making big commitments and living up to them for the global good, we have also set a target of net-zero by the year 2070,” PM Modi added.
PM Modi also informed that India only gives 5 per cent to global carbon emissions, and the pledge to tackle the climate challenge is 100 per cent. “Initiatives like International Solar Alliance and Coalition for Disaster-Resilient Infrastructure for Climate Adaptation are proof of this. The result of the efforts is that today 40 per cent of our energy mix comes from non-fossil sources. We have already achieved what India declared in Paris 9 years before the target,” Modi said.
