Prime Minister Narendra Modi will likely be present at the 28th edition of the United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) to begin end of the November in Dubai, sources confirmed to The Hindu. The annual climate conference is the most high profile summit to discuss the challenges from climate change and the roles and responsibilities of the world’s governments in addressing it.
During his visit to the United Arab Emirates in July this year, PM Modi had signed agreements and committed to future engagement. One of the things that was committed to was a joint resolution to “...make COP-28 a joint success for all.” Officials indicated that the PM will go, despite the busy election season for state elections in India.
PM Modi is likely to be present on December 1, sources said, when heads of State from several countries are expected to make statements. COP-28 begins on November 30, and will go on till December 12.
