Developed nations have already enjoyed fruits of low-cost energy, should cut emissions faster

A day ahead of the high-level segment at the COP26, India claimed that it pushed for introduction of “what actions need to be taken, including by developed countries” to achieve the climate and energy goals in the Rome Declaration at the conclusion of G20 Leaders’ Summit.

“Instead of only focusing on the climate goals, India along with other developing countries was able to introduce a language on what actions need to be taken, including by developed countries to achieve these goals,” said Piyush Goyal, India’s Sherpa for the G20 and Union Minister for Commerce and Industries, while briefing the media after the G20 Leaders’ Summit concluded in Rome.
