Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav may not attend this year\u2019s UN Conference of Parties (COP) that will begin in Baku, Azerbaijan, on November 11, per a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by the\u00a0Press Trust of India. Per the report, India will also not have a pavilion at COP29. Kirti Vardhan Singh, Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, will lead the Indian contingent at this year\u2019s COP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modi, Yadav may skip COP29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN conducts a Conference of Parties every year; COPs are the largest climate conferences where world leaders and representatives will engage in discussions and negotiations on taking action such as cutting down on carbon emissions to tackle the threat of global warming caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases, caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal. Groups including non-government organizations in the fields of climate and research, as well as climate and environmental activists also attend the event. This year\u2019s COP, which is termed a \u201cfinance COP\u201d because of many money-related matters that will be discussed and finalized, countries are required to reach an agreement on the New Collective Quantified Goal, an updated amount that developed nations must mobilize annually to support climate action in developing countries, beginning in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0PTI<\/em>\u00a0has quoted an unnamed official source as saying that Modi will not attend the World Leaders\u2019 Climate Action Summit at COP29 scheduled for November 12-13. Yadav, meanwhile, will not attend because of the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra, per the report.\u00a0The Print<\/em>\u00a0also\u00a0quoted<\/a>\u00a0an unnamed senior official of the union environment ministry as saying that Yadav may not attend COP29 due to his \u201ccommitments around the Maharashtra elections\u201d. Voting for the Maharashtra assembly elections begins on November 20, two days before COP29 comes to a close. The BJP has appointed Yadav as the party\u2019s in-charge of elections, per the\u00a0PTI<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Modi and Yadav attended COP28 held last year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In his remarks at the opening ceremony of the High-Level Segment for the national statements of nations on December 1 at COP28 last year, Modi said that developing countries should be given their fair share of the global carbon budget for just and equitable development, as\u00a0The Wire<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>. It was also in this speech that Modi proposed to host the 33rd COP in 2028 in India.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yadav\u00a0delivered<\/a>\u00a0India\u2019s national statement on December 9 at COP28. He highlighted the importance of equity and climate justice in global climate action, and said that this can be ensured only when developed countries \u201ctake the lead in ambitious climate action\u201d. He also pointed out that a clear definition of climate finance is also crucial given its importance for least developed and developing countries, and ones that are most vulnerable to climate change. Yadav was at COP28 right from Day 1 (November 30, 2023), which witnessed the formal approval of the financial mechanisms of the Loss and Damage Fund, which aims to funds available for all countries, especially developing nations that bear the brunt of global warming-induced climate change in the form of extreme weather events. Yadav\u00a0called<\/a>\u00a0the \u201coperationalization\u201d of the Fund a \u201cpositive signal\u201d and a \u201clandmark decision\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No India pavilion either<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the absence of Yadav, Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirti Vardhan Singh will lead India\u2019s 19-member delegation and deliver India\u2019s national statement at the high-level segment on November 18-19, reported<\/a> PTI<\/em>. This year at the COP, there will be no India pavilion either, per the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wire<\/em> has reached out to the Ministry for Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the union government\u2019s Press Information Bureau for confirmation on whether the Prime Minister and union environment minister will skip COP29 at Baku, as well as whether there will be no India pavilion this year. This story will be updated as soon as a response is received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
