He argued that developing economies have frequently been singled out for emissions while shouldering far less responsibility per person.<\/p>\n<h2>India\u2019s Climate Commitments and Renewable Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Modi highlighted that India stands alone among the G\u201120 bloc in meeting the Paris Agreement (COP\u201121) pledges ahead of the stipulated timeline. Over the past twelve years, he said, the country has recorded remarkable strides across all environmental sectors. Central to this progress are a suite of multilateral initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance, the Global Biofuels Alliance, the International Big Cat Alliance and Mission LiFE, which aim to set new benchmarks for global ecological stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister pointed to a decisive shift toward renewable power, noting that clean mobility projects and green\u2011hydrogen programmes are accelerating. Wind\u2011energy capacity, he observed, has tripled within the same twelve\u2011year window, while nuclear power generation is also receiving heightened attention as part of a diversified clean\u2011energy mix.<\/p>\n<h2>Judicial Perspectives on Environmental Stewardship<\/h2>\n<p>Chief Justice of India Surya Kant addressed the gathering, reminding attendees that reverence for the planet predates modern tribunals and regulatory bodies. He emphasized that every citizen bears a constitutional duty to protect forests, water bodies and wildlife, framing the Indian Constitution as both a legal and moral charter for present and future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Bhupender Yadav echoed the moral dimension, linking India&#8217;s environmental ethos to its ancient civilizational values that treat the earth as a shared trust rather than a private asset. He reported that non\u2011fossil fuel sources now constitute more than 54\u202fpercent of the nation\u2019s installed electricity capacity, surpassing earlier targets. According to Yadav, India ranks third worldwide in total renewable\u2011energy capacity and holds the position of second\u2011largest market for solar\u2011energy expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The minister further asserted that these figures demonstrate the compatibility of robust economic growth with determined climate action, dispelling the notion that development must come at the expense of the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Wildlife Conservation Gains and Ongoing Efforts<\/h2>\n<p>In the realm of biodiversity, Yadav noted that India\u2019s conservation strategy extends beyond protecting isolated species to preserving entire ecosystems. He cited notable increases in the populations of flagship animals such as tigers, lions and elephants. Parallel initiatives are intensifying protection for vultures and the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond fauna, the minister highlighted ongoing projects aimed at restoring forests, grasslands and wetlands, reinforcing the country&#8217;s broader ecological balance.<\/p>\n<h2>Conference Structure and International Collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>The two\u2011day event, organized by the National Green Tribunal, convenes a diverse assembly of environmental scholars, senior judges from the Supreme Court and High Courts, as well as district\u2011level magistrates. Judicial representatives from seventeen nations are also slated to participate, creating a platform for sharing legal perspectives, scientific insights and governance experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Key agenda items include identifying gaps in policy design, implementation and enforcement, as well as exploring mechanisms to strengthen environmental governance and foster institutional cooperation across borders. Organizers anticipate that the dialogue will generate actionable recommendations to enhance climate resilience and biodiversity protection worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the conference aims to bridge judicial expertise with scientific knowledge, reinforcing India\u2019s role as a proactive player in global climate discourse while showcasing the nation\u2019s own achievements in renewable energy, wildlife preservation and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a two\u2011day international conference in New Delhi, stressing India&#8217;s low per\u2011capita emissions, renewable achievements and new judicial collaborations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[2175,2174,2176,771,2177],"class_list":["post-2057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-governance","tag-india-climate-policy","tag-international-conference","tag-renewable-energy","tag-wildlife-conservation","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
