Sharm El-Sheikh, India has been silent on the question on phasing out or down of fossil fuels at COP28. Despite its aggressive renewable energy targets and its role in the adoption of the G20 commitment to triple renewable energy capacity, India has so far maintained a studied silence on the issue of fossil fuels at the ongoing UN Climate Conference in Dubai. At COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh last year, India had proposed inclusion of clear language on phasing down all fossil fuels, not just coal, as agreed at the Glasgow meet. Though the proposal failed to make the final cut, it gained the support of at least 80 countries and the European Union.
