Despite extreme weather events battering India and the rest of the world in the last few months, climate ministers of the G20 nations ended their last meeting for the year without resolving major disagreement on climate policies
Rekha Devi, a 30-year-old farm worker, sits with her family next to her temporary shelter on an under construction overpass after her family evacuated the flooded banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi, India, Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023. Devi, her husband and their children fled as July's record monsoon rains triggered flooding that killed more than 100 people in northern India, displaced thousands and inundated large parts of the capital city.
“If the leaders lived here, would they have taken their kids into the deep waters to live? Right now, no one is doing anything for us. We will see when they do something,” she said. Shayak Sengupta, an energy and research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation America, conceded there were no broad agreements on reducing fossil fuels or increasing renewables.
The hope is they "will be able to come out with an ambitious agenda that can not only show that the G20 can act but will also bolster confidence going into the global climate meetings in December,” said Madhura Joshi, energy analyst at the climate think tank E3G.
