The first high-level event being co-hosted by India and the UAE is the in DubaI. This initiative is based on the Green Credit programme, which was notified by the Ministry of Environment in October this year.
  3. The second side event co-hosted by India and Sweden is the launch of LeadIT 2.0. It is "essentially a leadership group for energy transition", Kwatra said. "This was a joint initiative launched by India and Sweden in 2019 at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York. This initiative fosters collaboration among the decision-makers bringing together both the public sector and the private sector with the objective of accelerating the industry transition to net zero emissions," India's foreign secretary said.

  5. The prime minister is also scheduled to attend a set of bilateral meetings with many of his counterparts on the sidelines of COP28 World Climate Action Summit in the UAE, Kwatra said.

The United Nation's COP28 climate summit in Dubai opened on Thursday with nations urged to make faster cuts to planet-warming emissions and phase out fossil fuels. The Egyptian president of COP27 Sameh Shoukry kicked off the summit to hand over the presidency to the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.
