Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proposed that his country host COP33 in 2028.

"India is committed to UN Framework for Climate Change and that is why I propose from this stage that COP33 Summit in 2028 be hosted in India," Modi said during his speech at the COP28 summit in Dubai.

He added that India's goal is to bring down its emission intensity to 45 per cent by 2030 and increase the share of non-fossil fuel to 50 per cent.

"We shall continue to move ahead in achieving our goal of net-zero by 2070," Modi added.
