At the International Court of Justice (ICJ), India took a strong stance against developed nations, accusing them of unfairly contributing to environmental degradation while shifting the burden of responsibility to other countries.
Unequal Contribution and Responsibility
India argued that the climate crisis cannot be addressed equally among all nations, as developed countries have historically been the largest contributors to environmental damage. As a result, India asserted that the responsibility for mitigating the effects of climate change must be shared in proportion to each nation’s contribution.
India’s Stand on Environmental Justice
Representing its interests at the ICJ, India highlighted the need for developed countries to shoulder a greater responsibility for climate action. India’s legal representative emphasized that the scale of environmental degradation caused by these nations must be acknowledged and factored into global climate policies.
Call for Equitable Global Climate Solutions
India’s statement underscored its call for an equitable approach to climate change, one that ensures fairness and justice for countries that have borne the brunt of environmental damage despite their minimal contribution to it.
