Developed and developing countries must have different goals and timelines while being sensitive to each other's needs, potential goals and road map towards sustainability, Indian commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal recently told the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) special plenary session at the India Europe Business and Sustainability Conclave in New Delhi.

India has been one of the top five performers in benchmarking its work and meeting the nationally-determined contributions (NDCs). “Technology, finance and sustainable lifestyles are going to play an important role in ensuring sustainable growth”, he said.

Goyal urged world leaders to recognise that everyone must contribute their fair share in improving energy efficiency, in reducing waste, in boosting the circular economy and in achieving green goals by transitioning and helping other nations transition to green growth to make the world a better place to live in, an official release said.

India's partnership with the United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) is significant in the global effort to make the planet safer and greener, he added.
