Cong's dig at govt on withdrawing bid to host COP33
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Congress on Thursday attacked the Centre over India withdrawing its bid to host the COP33 climate summit in 2028, and said it reflects the Modi government's true commitment to the 2015 Paris Agreement both in letter and spirit.
The opposition party said the decision also calls into question the government's true commitment to take on more ambitious carbon mitigation goals in the short and medium term.
Congress general secretary and former environment minister Jairam Ramesh recalled that on December 1, 2023, the prime minister had announced grandly in Dubai that India would be hosting the annual UN Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP) in India in late 2028.
The decision was conveyed to the Asia-Pacific group on April 2. India had proposed hosting the COP-33 summit in India in 2028.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had conveyed India’s proposal in his special address at the inauguration of High Level Segment of COP-28 in December 2023 in the UAE.
