India revises his book for climate financing after withdrawal from the US from the Paris Agreement at the beginning of this year, a higher government official said with the use of other multilateral and bilateral agreements in addition to the private sector.
Development comes at a time when the US decision on global sustainability and climate change deepened the decision of the US US elimination from an agreement on climate change in Paris.
Some of the key financing at which the Center would look at should include Indo-German bilateral partnerships, Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global Environment Facility (Gef), Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) such as Asian Development Bank (ADB) and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBD).
Strategic cooperation between these institutions and Indian financial entities would be essential in facilitating access to finance for climate measures.
“When the US was pulled out, the burden comes to the EU (the European Union) and the EU wants every developing country to take many ambitious climatic actions. In the case of India, nothing big passes through multilateral channels, but largely it is through domestic sources.”
The US download has opened a significant gap in the global climate. In COP29 of the US, the US has pledged a significant amount to a new $ 300 billion climate. Last month, the US also withdrew from the Board of Directors of the recently created loss and damage fund to provide financial support to the countries to ravaged climate disasters.
Since February last year, India has received $ 1.16 billion for climate projects through the UN Framework Convention (UNFCCC). According to the written response to Rajya Sabha, the Minister of the Environment Bhupender Yadav and $ 16.86 million from the Adaptation Fund includes $ 803.9 million, $ 346.52 million from the global climate change) and $ 16.86 million from the adaptation fund.
However, most Indian climatic events were funded through domestic resources. The government report on economic survey 2024-25, which was submitted in Parliament in January this year, said that, given the background of shrinking global financial obligations to support climate in developing countries, India must prefer the resistance of the building to protect the benefits of its rapid economic growth against climate.
Insufficient financing
The Indian Fourth Biennial Report update submitted by UNFCCC in December 2024 states that the GCF size has been very insufficient and is not proportional to the requirements of developing countries. The current portfolio size is around $ 16 billion, a fraction of the real requirement of development nations. Although access to GCF-2 contribution has increased compared to GCF-1, the size remains a problem for effective climate measures.
However, the financing of operating entities such as GCF requires a high co -financing of the developing country concerned, which means that this component of co -financing must be generated by the country, often from public funding.
“We are looking at more green funds through bilateral channels, such as Indo-German partnership and multi-lateral channels. For the most part, we know that we have to find resources through mobilization of domestic resources,” the official added.
The government also focuses on discounted financing, because it has the power to use and mobilize many resources, which means that this money can use to increase the size of mixed financing – using advantageous sources to use much larger cats. In addition to the Green Funds, the government is trying to set up some resources and associate different means.
In the case of MDBS, most projects are financed through credit loans on the market, which are further vulnerable to the risks of exchange rates.
AMIT Anand, CEO of Carbon Check, said: “US pulling out should not have a great impact on India’s environmental financing. The US was not part of the (former) Kyoto protocol. Similarly, multilaterals such as the World Bank. for compulsory requirements for reporting companies.
India’s attempts to resolve climate change through mitigation and adaptation are primarily financed by the allocation of the government budget together with a combination of market mechanisms, fiscal instruments and political interventions.
For example, with the aim of mobilizing resources for Green Public Infrastructure projects, India Reserve Bank of India Sovereign Green Bonds (SGRBS) issued. In the first half of 2024-25, the government increased 10 years of SGRBS worth £1 697.40 crore. According to RBI, climate adaptation measures will require expenditure about RS. 85.6 trillion by 2030.
