The COP26 Scorecard: Has It Made Enough Progress?

ORF PolicyPod

Intensifying floods, wildfires and other climate catastrophes around the world have exposed gaps in foreign policy in addressing climate change. With developing economies being disproportionately affected by weather disasters, have climate summits like COP26 made enough progress to accelerate green transformation in these economies? Climate finance drives sustainable development, transitioning to a clean economy and building resilience. How can we leverage the private sector in incentivizing this green energy? With its abundance of natural advantages, India is scaling up through energy self-reliance and electric mobility. But, with a transition to low-carbon technologies, how will the Indian government mitigate the risks to citizens employed in the fossil fuel industries amidst the creation of new industries? What are the future implications of the current decarbonisation trends in India? Join Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General, OECD and Jayant Sinha, Member of Parliament, India, in discussing COP26 and green transformation at the Raisina Fireside. The Raisina Dialogue is a multilateral conference committed to addressing the most challenging issues facing the global community. Every year, global leaders in policy, business, media and civil society are hosted in New Delhi to discuss cooperation on a wide range of pertinent international policy matters. The conference is hosted by the Observer Research Foundation in collaboration with the Government of India, Ministry of External Affairs. For More ORF Podcast Click Here: www.orfonline.org/podcasts/
