New Delhi/Riyadh, Nov 22 (PTI) Climate change must be fought not in silos but in an integrated, comprehensive and holistic way, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a G20 event on Sunday and asserted that the entire world can progress faster if there is greater support of technology and finance to developing nations. Addressing the G-20 summit side event -- 'Safeguarding the Planet: The Circular Carbon Economy Approach', Modi said India is not only meeting its Paris Agreement targets, but also exceeding them. "Inspired by our traditional ethos of living in harmony with the environment, and the commitment of my government, India has adopted low-carbon and climate-resilient development practices," he said.
The entire world can progress faster if there is greater support of technology and finance to the developing world, the prime minister asserted. "For humanity to prosper, every single individual must prrosper. Rather than seeing labour as a factor of production alone, the focus must be on the human dignity of every worker," Modi said. Such an approach would be the best guarantee for safeguarding the planet, he said.
