India will push the agenda of sustainable lifestyle at the upcoming global climate conference at Marrakech in Morocco, apart from focussing on the issue of mobilising finances, which has been its “overriding” concern, to tackle climate change.
At the Marrakech Climate Change Conference scheduled to be held from November 7 to 18, nations will continue their work on strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, with the central focus placed on enhancing ambition, promoting implementation and providing support.
“The importance of sustainable lifestyle anchored for the first time in the climate change agreement was a big victory for India. India has always followed a path of sustainable lifestyle which is based on the principle of need-based consumption. India will continue to push this agenda of sustainable lifestyle at Morocco CoP.
“Enhanced pre-2020 action and mobilising finance in both pre-2020 and post-2020 period remains an overriding concern for India and the group of developing countries. Access to adequate and predictable climate finance especially from funds under the Convention, is needed for successful implementation of the Paris Agreement,” the Environment Ministry said.
