India, UAE stand as partners in shaping greener and prosperous future, says PM Modi

"It is essential to recognise that developing countries have not contributed to the creation of the problem. Yet developing countries are willing to be a part of the solution. But, they cannot contribute without access to the financing and technology needed… I have therefore advocated strongly for global cooperation for ensuring requisite climate financing and technology transfer," he said.

Modi will attend the World Climate Action Summit on Friday during the United Nations 'Conference of the Parties' on climate, known as COP28. The World Climate Action Summit is the high-level segment of the COP28.

Several world leaders are attending the climate action summit to discuss ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and effectively combat climate change.

The prime minister is scheduled to participate in three other high-level side events as well. The COP28 is taking place from November 30 to December 12 under the presidency of the UAE.
