The agenda’s focus on renewables is good news for India, which can push for new sources of funding for green technologies
The COP29 Action Agenda is poised to impact India’s climate change efforts. Through initiatives such as the Climate Finance Action Fund (CFAF) and the Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, India can push for new funding for green energy and low-carbon technologies.
The agenda’s strong focus on renewable energy, through commitments such as the Green Energy Zones, is expected to help the expansion of India’s solar and wind power capacity, supporting its target of 500GW renewable energy by 2030.
The Hydrogen Declaration is anticipated to bolster India’s hydrogen sector, potentially positioning the nation as a global leader in green hydrogen production. In agriculture, the Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative will provide farmers with resources for climate-resilient practices.
Pledge for the Future
COP is not just for governments and corporations—it is also about individuals and communities. Our daily choices matter. Whether it is pushing for more robust climate policies, supporting sustainable businesses, reducing carbon footprints or adopting sustainable and climate practices, we all play a part in building a greener and more resilient future.
As COP29 approaches, the message should be loud and clear—the time for action is now!
