Union Minister Piyush Goyal opened the Advancing Resilience with Climate Change dialogue in New Delhi and presented India as a leader in climate action and renewables. He said India ranks among the top one to three G20 countries on Intended Nationally Determined Contributions and met renewable goals eight years early by reaching 260 gigawatt (GW). The government has set a 500 GW clean energy target by 2030. He recalled India’s role at Paris COP21 and said the country moved to global leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He noted engagements with 12 countries and regions, including Peru, Chile, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Russia and Israel, and said these dialogues aim to open markets for Indian business. He argued that sound economics, ease of doing business and innovation are central to growth. He said climate action has become economically viable, with renewable firms creating jobs and export potential in capital goods, power and services. Planning work, including 29 studies on renewable scenarios, informed infrastructure and capacity choices. He highlighted power sector reforms and the One Nation, One Grid vision that enabled efficient distribution and reduced regional cost disparities. He recalled that southern regions once faced peak costs of Rs 12 per unit while power remained underutilised elsewhere, and that integration helped reduce costs to around Rs two point five to three per unit. He cited expansion of transmission networks and revival of stalled projects to support intermittent renewables. He launched the Climate Resilience Analytics and Visualisation Intelligence System (CRAVIS), an artificial intelligence (AI) climate platform that combines over forty years of historical data with projections up to 2070 and enables district-level analysis across 279 indicators. The system integrates datasets from the India Meteorological Department and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, and provides maps, dashboards and natural language queries for decision making. He invoked trusteeship and assured full government support for collective action to build a resilient and sustainable future.
