Agendas Behind COP28

The primary focus of PM Modi’s agenda at COP28 revolves around several critical issues. Firstly, he’s advocating for increased climate financing and technology transfer to developing nations, highlighting the necessity for developed countries to support those more vulnerable to climate impacts. 

This is particularly important considering the recent establishment of a “loss and damage” fund at COP28, aimed at helping countries severely affected by climate change.
