India criticises western ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach of tackling climate change

India advocates for a local lens on climate change, opposing one-size-fits-all methods. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman highlights a $1.4 trillion need for the 2070 net-zero goal. The Economic Survey supports Mission LiFE, the Green Credit Programme, low meat consumption, societal norms, and lifestyle choices, and criticizes historical polluters and overconsumption-driven fossil fuel technologies, noting India's low per capita carbon emission.
