Due to the rapid increase in climate change events in recent years, the threat of which is reaching developed
countries including europe and North America, issues related to the climate crisis are increasingly at the center
of geopolitics. The decisions taken in the G-20 summit chaired by india also did not remain untouched by this
issue. In a significant step forward, the collective leadership in the G20 New delhi Declaration agreed for the
first time to triple renewable energy capacity development targets by 2030 and once again materialize the
promised climate fund.
Releasing the manifesto on the very first day of the conference, the prime minister of india seemed excited by
the consensus among all the countries in accordance with the statement in which he stated that 'the welfare and
happiness of human beings should be ensured' engraved on the Ashoka Pillar two and a half thousand years ago.
Along with all the burning issues of the world, the issues of environment and climate crisis also got a prominent
place in the manifesto. Concern over growing global issues was clearly outlined with some clear goals. The
manifesto mainly includes complete preparation for climate change, development of green energy potential
other than fossil fuels, proper exploitation of marine resources and solution to the climate crisis based on gender
equality.
Efforts to increase green energy
The New delhi Declaration, for the first time setting a time-frame, expressed a collective desire to triple clean
and green renewable energy production and double energy intensity, to be achieved by 2030. Energy intensity is
calculated as energy consumed per unit GDP or gross domestic product. Increasing energy intensity enables
greater economic activity with less energy consumption. The collective consensus to achieve these two goals is
being considered an important effort towards the increase of clean and green energy.
