Increased Global Investments: G20 acknowledges the necessity for increased global investments to meet the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Climate Finance: The declaration urges developed countries to fulfill their commitment to at least double their collective provision of adaptation finance from 2019 levels by 2025. This is in line with the objectives of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement.

Financial Requirements for Developing Countries: The declaration notes the requirement of $5.8-5.9 trillion in the pre-2030 period for developing countries, particularly to support the implementation of their emission reduction targets.

India played a prominent role in promoting clean energy during the G20 Summit. Prime Minister Modi announced the launch of a Global Biofuel Alliance, with the United States and Brazil as founding members. This alliance aims to accelerate efforts to achieve net-zero emissions targets by facilitating the trade of biofuels derived from various sources, including plant and animal waste.

India’s push for the Global Biofuel Alliance aligns with its broader commitment to sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions. The country is advancing its efforts to increase the use of biofuels, aiming to become carbon neutral by 2070 and doubling nationwide ethanol blending in gasoline to 20% by 2025.
