India proves growth and nature protection go together, says PM

India is proving that national development and protecting nature can happen at the same time, according to the Prime Minister. While developing nations often face unfair blame for carbon emissions, India points out that its per capita carbon output today sits at less than half of the global average. Over the past 12 years, the country has achieved major progress across every sector tied to the environment. A primary focus of this work has been renewable energy.
