Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal criticised the developed world’s track record on climate obligations, questioning wealthy nations and the European Union for failing to deliver on their climate finance commitments to the Global South.
Addressing a roundtable at the Berlin Global Dialogue, Piyush Goyal called out developed nations for historically contributing the lion’s share of global carbon emissions while reneging on their pledged financial and technological support to developing and vulnerable nations under the Paris Agreement.
Piyush Goyal highlighted the stark imbalance between the population sizes and emission outputs of the West versus other regions. He said that, despite Western rhetoric, India’s individual carbon footprint remains a fraction of European levels.
