WSDS 2022: Sub-national Leadership for Inclusive Green Growth

The Ministerial Session on Sub-national Leadership for Inclusive Green Growth was a fruitful one. It was presided by eminent ministers and policy-level individuals from states and institutions. The opening speech was given by Dr Vibha Dhawan. She focused on saying that India is a unique country. We are still growing, have to develop and we have sort of scope to show to the world what green development means. Because most countries in the west already have the infrastructure in place and changing infrastructure is tougher that building new ones based on the principles of green growth. This was followed by Mr Ajay Shankar and he presided over the session. The session began with Mr Aditya Uddhav Thackeray and he stressed on climate action. He also said that India’s threats lie in the fact that most of the country is still under poverty, most of the country is still agrarian and on the cusp of development. And this is the real threat because climate change is accountable for change in geographies. This is not only going to create economic issues for us but also will also be accountable for creation of social issues.
