India emphasized at the pre-COP30 meeting in Brasilia that the upcoming United Nations climate conference in Belém should prioritize addressing the resource shortages faced by developing nations in their climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav stated that dialogue must lead to action, focusing on ambitious climate measures. He highlighted the significance of the Global Stock Take (GST), assessing collective progress under the Paris Agreement. Yadav called for rigorous consideration of scientific assessments without rushing their inclusion in future GSTs.
