# Modi shares article on India’s BRICS climate action 2026-08-20T21:41:14+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared an article by Union Minister Bhupender Yadav on India's BRICS chairship, which emphasises sustainable development through people-centric climate action. The article highlights India's focus on sustainable lifestyles, afforestation, circular economy, and community-based adaptation. It also notes India's progress in reducing emissions intensity and expanding non-fossil energy capacity. The Prime Minister's Office posted on X, crediting Yadav for outlining how India's approach reinforces sustainable development under its BRICS leadership. ## Indian Opinion Analysis India's BRICS chairship comes as the bloc seeks to coordinate climate positions ahead of global summits. New Delhi's emphasis on lifestyle-based change and afforestation aligns with its domestic targets, including 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030. The key test will be whether India can secure BRICS backing for its position on climate finance and technology transfer at the next COP meeting. Watch for a joint BRICS climate statement later this year. ## Coverage - pmindia.gov.in The PMO release uncritically amplifies the minister's article and government achievements.
