Narendra Modi: India’s saviour

NARENDRA MODI

Narendra Modi is known for his peace and humanity spirit and his passion for equality and care in the world; therefore of course the Prime minister of India will be one of the first to help tackle climate change... Surely? His modest personality has inspired his people to focus on the importance of life and not obsess over greed and money.

Reinforcing India’s commitment to combat climate change, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announces the setting up of a major global coalition to promote setting up of disaster-resilient infrastructure in the wake of rising extreme climatic events- “The time for talking is over. The world needs to act now.” He has preached from the beginning that we, as one, must live with nature and not battle against it- which some world leaders disagree on.

The Prime minister of India, who is leading efforts to scrap single-use plastics in India, said that this move will also be adopted at the global level and hopes other world leaders will be made aware of the dangers of single use plastics.

Modi has also preached about the importance of using renewable sources of energy, not to be wasteful and not to take advantage of our earth.

Although Modi has played a strong role in this fight for climate change, he argues that, “Climate has not changed. We have changed. Our habits have changed. Our habits have got spoiled. Due to that, we have destroyed our entire environment.” Therefore he does not necessarily believe the science behind climate change, similar to Vladimir Putin.

He has pronounced many times that the world must do something in order to prevent further damage caused by global warming but has avoided questions in interviews when asked about his own plans and actions he is willing to take; so Modi has created confusion about his views on climate change.

“The respect for nature, the judicious use of resources, reducing our needs and living within our means have all been important aspects of both our traditions and present-day efforts. ‘Need, not greed’ has been our guiding principle.”
