India news: PM Modi says developing nations unfairly blamed for emissions
PM Narendra Modi has told a climate conference that developed countries emit six times more CO2 than India. Meanwhile, an IIT Bombay professor has been accused of caste abuse. DW has more.
On September 19 and 20, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the "Future of Environment and Climate Dynamics" conference in New Delhi. He criticized the tendency to hold developing nations responsible for carbon emissions, despite their low per-capita output. Modi noted that India's per capita carbon emissions are less than half of the global average, while developed countries emit six times more per capita.
India has consistently raised this issue at global forums, including the 2015 Paris climate summit. The conference, attended by representatives from 17 countries, aimed to discuss environmental and climate governance. Meanwhile, in a separate development, the Allahabad High Court ordered the Uttar Pradesh Police to ensure the safety of a same-sex couple living together.
The same-day coverage also touched upon allegations of caste abuse against a professor at IIT Bombay, and the outcome of the 2026 DUSU elections, where the ABVP-led candidate Yash Dabas won the presidential post.
