On Monday, India voted against the draft resolution of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that attempted to securitize climate action as well as undermine the hard-won agreements in Glasgow.
The Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations TS Tirumurti has said that India will always speak up for the interests of the developing world and it had no other option than to vote against the draft.
Tirumurti said, “India is second to none when it comes to climate action and climate justice. But UNSC is not the place to discuss either issue. In fact, an attempt to do so appears to be motivated by a desire to evade responsibility in the appropriate forum and divert the world’s attention from an unwillingness to deliver where it counts.”
