India's national statement at COP30: 'a COP of Implementation'
Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav delivered India's National Statement at the High-Level Segment of COP30 to the UNFCCC in Belém, Brazil on 17 November 2025, calling for it to be a 'COP of Implementation' and a 'COP of Delivery on Promises'.
Summary
In India's COP30 national statement, Bhupender Yadav urged developed countries to reach net zero far earlier than their current targets and to deliver new, additional and concessional climate finance in trillions, not billions, along with climate technology free of restrictive intellectual property barriers. He said India's emission intensity has fallen by over 36% since 2005 and that non-fossil sources now make up more than half of India's installed power capacity (about 256 GW) — an NDC target met five years ahead of 2030. India will announce its revised NDCs up to 2035 and its first Biennial Transparency Report on time.
