Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the National Assembly of Seychelles and urges climate action to be guided by fairness, responsibility, and equity, according to reports from India Today and NDTV. Modi says that countries in the Global South—particularly island nations—experience outsized impacts from climate change despite contributing least to the problem. He frames the climate agenda around “climate justice,” arguing that efforts to tackle climate change must account for historical responsibility and the need for equitable treatment of vulnerable countries. The reports state that Modi explicitly emphasizes support for island nations, which face heightened risks from sea-level rise, extreme weather, and related disruptions. His remarks in Seychelles also align with a broader call to ensure climate commitments and actions are carried out in a manner that is fair to developing and vulnerable states. The outlets agree on the core message: island nations are most affected, and climate policy should reflect principles of fairness and equity.
