SUMMARY:Ms. Chandni Raina\, Advisor\, Ministry of Finance\, Government of India to speak on The NCQG: decoding the decision (Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:The session would focus on the long history of the multilateral climate agreement\, the evolution of the international discourse on climate finance and issues related to the new climate finance goal – the NCQG. Since the adoption of the UNFCCC- the convention\, the developed countries have disregarded the context of historical responsibilities towards climate issues and the principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities\, as underlined in the Convention. The reluctance of developed countries to address climate change through ambitious climate action or to support developing countries in dealing with the impacts of climate change has been a longstanding issue. By adopting the New Collective Quantified Goal at COP 29\, developed countries have demonstrated progress along that continuum. The Baku to Belem Roadmap for 1.3 T\, per the NCQG decision mandate\, is to be finalised at COP 30 (2025). However\, in the absence of concrete commitments by developed countries to provide and mobilise adequate\, predictable\, new and additional climate finance for developing countries\, the roadmap is expected to stress the role of the private sector in mobilising climate finance and innovative climate financing measures. This is regardless of the fact that private investments are more inclined towards developed countries as developing countries face barriers to private capital\, limited domestic public/fiscal resources to de-risk climate action and opaque sovereign credit rating methodologies.

SUMMARY:The SAU-UNEP Inaugural Lecture Series took place on February 12\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The SAU-UNEP Inaugural Lecture Series took place on February 12\, 2025\, at LS 001\, SAU\, organized by the Interdisciplinary Centre of Excellence on Climate Change\, Green Transition\, and Sustainability. The session featured Dr. Kilaparti Ramakrishna\, Senior Advisor on Ocean and Climate Policy at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, delivering a special lecture on Climate  Change and Multilateralism.\n\nThe session began with a welcome address by Professor Ritu Gaur\, SAU\, followed by opening remarks from Professor K.K. Aggarwal\, President of SAU. Dr. Ramakrishna then delivered the keynote lecture\, outlining key challenges and opportunities in Climate Governance and Diplomacy. His lecture was followed by a Q&A segment where the audience engaged with the speakers\, providing additional insights. The session concluded with remarks from Dr. Balakrishna Pisupati\, UNEP Head India and Professor Pooran Pandey delivered the vote of thanks before the event ended with tea and informal discussions.Dr. Kilaparti Ramakrishna is a leading expert in ocean and climate policy\, serving as Senior Advisor at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Previously\, he was Head of Strategic Planning at the Green Climate Fund and held senior positions at UNEP\, including Principal Policy Advisor to the Executive Director. He contributed to drafting the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol\, bringing extensive experience in environmental law\, climate finance\, and sustainable development. \nKey Takeaways\nThe keynote presentation traced how climate governance evolved from a scientific issue to a complex international policy challenge. Notably\, developing nations\, particularly from South Asia\, played a key role in shaping core principles like differential responsibility and loss and damage mechanisms\, underscoring the region’s capacity to drive international policy change. India’s journey from policy advocacy to leadership through the International Solar Alliance and G20 achievements further demonstrates how developing nations can actively shape global policy rather than remain passive recipients. However\, the presentation highlighted an important concern: despite significant diplomatic and policy progress\, atmospheric CO2 levels continue to rise\, pointing to the need for innovative solutions including marine CO2 removal. In this context\, regional institutions such as SAU can contribute to research and policy development to support these efforts. \nThe discussion phase revealed key insights about implementation challenges. These emphasized the necessity of regional cooperation over individual national efforts\, the effectiveness of framing climate change through the lens of pollution to improve public understanding\, and the ongoing difficulties in accessing existing financial mechanisms due to institutional barriers. These insights are particularly pertinent for South Asia\, where fostering collaborative approaches can help overcome these challenges; academic institutions like SAU can play a supportive role in promoting coordinated regional action. \nThe concluding remarks addressed a core challenge in environmental governance: the gap between the pace of scientific progress and policy development. While policies are created globally\, their success depends on local implementation\, highlighting the crucial role of ground-level action in addressing climate change.

SUMMARY:Joint Secretary\, Legal and Treaties Division\, MEA speaks at SAU's Climate Centre
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Centre of Excellence on Climate Change\, Green Transition and Sustainability\, South Asian University\, New Delhi\, India in collaboration with the Faculty of Legal Studies\, organised a seminar talk By Dr. Luther Rangreji\, Joint Secretary\, Legal and Treaties Division\, Ministry of External Affairs\, Government of India on “Ongoing ICJ Advisory Opinion proceedings in obligations of states in respect of climate change” on 3 February 2025 at 4:00 pm.\nDr. Rangreji highlighted the critical role of international law in addressing climate change\, emphasizing the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC). His observations on the historical accountability of developed nations and the urgent need for equitable burden-sharing deeply resonate with the realities faced by many developing states. His emphasis on climate justice serves as a powerful reminder that solutions to the climate crisis must be fair\, inclusive\, and legally enforceable. He also examined climate finance obligations\, stressing the gap between commitments and actual support from developed nations. Additionally\, he outlined key international legal principles relevant to climate change.
