Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Saturday that India has proposed the launch of the G20 Satellite Mission for Environment and Climate Observation during the G20 Summit in New Delhi. The mission aims to assist countries in the global south by facilitating the sharing of climate and weather data.

The proposal was made by PM Modi during a session at the G20 Leaders’ Summit, which was attended by world leaders such as US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa.

PM Modi stated that the G20 satellite mission would be beneficial for all of humanity, much like the data obtained from India’s successful Chandrayaan moon mission. He invited all G20 countries to join this initiative and emphasized the importance of sharing climate and weather data, particularly with countries in the Global South.

In addition to the G20 Satellite Mission for Environment and Climate Observation, PM Modi also launched the Global Biofuels Alliance during the summit. This alliance aims to promote the use of biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, PM Modi announced the development of a shipping and rail transportation corridor that will connect countries across the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. This corridor is expected to enhance trade and connectivity among these regions.

India’s proposal for the G20 Satellite Mission and the launch of the Global Biofuels Alliance demonstrate the country’s commitment to addressing environmental and climate challenges. By leveraging technological advancements and international cooperation, India aims to contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development.
