Delivering the keynote at the roundtable “Delivering Sustainability at Scale: Pathways for Global Transformation”, Shri Joshi stated that sustainability is now central to economic growth, competitiveness, and resilience. He emphasized that the challenge of this decade is not merely adopting renewables but delivering sustainability at scale, speed, and economic benefit.
He reiterated India’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, guided by the principle Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—One Earth, One Family, One Future. India views sustainability as a strategic societal and economic transformation rather than just a technological shift, with renewables as the most reliable, affordable, and future-ready pathway for growth.
