NEW DELHI: Building momentum for a desired outcome at the upcoming UN climate summit, India, at a preparatory meet in Brasilia, has emphasised that the 30th session of the annual conference (COP30) next month must reaffirm faith in “multilateralism, equity and collective resolve” to deliver real, measurable action for people and the planet.“Dialogue is important but action is imperative,” said environment minister Bhupender Yadav while articulating the country’s stand at the two-day pre-COP, concluded on Tuesday.His remarks assume significance, specifically in the context of developed countries’ unfulfilled promises of mobilising adequate finance for helping their developing counterparts implement climate action pledges under the Paris Agreement.“We must now focus on implementing ambitious climate measures and, above all, addressing the most pressing challenge: the urgent lack of resources for developing countries to deliver adaptation and mitigation,” said Yadav while addressing a session on the Global Stock Take (GST).GST is a five-year process to assess the world’s collective progress toward the goals of the agreement.COP30 will be held in Belém, Brazil, from Nov 10 to 21 in the shadow of the tariff tussle with the US, a country which has already withdrawn from the Paris Agreement.“As we mark a decade since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, COP30 must send a resolute political message that multilateralism remains the cornerstone of global climate action,” said the minister.Setting the tone for the UN climate summit, he also underlined the importance of adaptation to face the challenge of climate change and appealed to nations to focus on implementation of all actions that had been pledged by them as part of the global deal.“The focus must be on transforming climate commitments into real-world actions that accelerate implementation and directly improve people’s lives… COP30 should be the COP of adaptation,” said Yadav.The two-day pre-COP brought together ministers, senior negotiators and observers to narrow differences on politically sensitive topics and build consensus ahead of the annual summit in Belém.
