India calls for faster climate action at Pre-COP31 meet

Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, leading India's delegation at the UNFCCC Pre-COP31 meeting in Fiji, urged nations to close gaps in climate action, fulfil Paris Agreement commitments and accelerate implementation. He said COP31's success should be measured by concrete progress, not new declarations. The annual UN Climate Conference is scheduled in Antalya, Türkiye, in November.
