The country recognizes the importance of adopting sustainable practices to combat global warming and its adverse effects on agriculture, water resources, and vulnerable communities. India has been urging other G20 member states to enhance their commitments to the Paris Agreement and implement concrete measures to transition towards clean energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect biodiversity.

Promoting Global Health and Eradicating Pandemics

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical importance of global health cooperation, and India has played a significant role in advancing this agenda within the G20. The country has called for strengthening international preparedness and response mechanisms to future pandemics, ensuring equitable access to vaccines and healthcare, and fostering collaboration in research and development of medical solutions. By advocating for a coordinated and inclusive approach, India aims to build a healthier and more resilient world.
