India Faces Backlash Over COP29 Negotiations and Climate Targets

 At the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) held in December 2024, India faced significant international criticism for its stance on climate change commitments. Despite calling for developed nations to take more responsibility for the global climate crisis, India's reluctance to accelerate its own carbon reduction targets led to disagreements with several Western countries.

This prompted protests from environmental organizations, who accused India of stalling meaningful progress. On the other hand, India continued to stress the importance of equitable climate action, particularly emphasizing financial aid for developing nations to transition to renewable energy.

The discussions left some aspects of the climate debate unresolved, and the impact on India’s climate policies remains uncertain.
