Further talking about the need for urgent government action, Harjeet Singh, Global Engagement Director, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative said, "Series of disasters affecting both developed and developing countries are serving as a wake up call. As rich countries will get more and more affected by climate change which they did not imagine till a couple of years ago, most vulnerable countries are going to be struggling with impacts who also have very less capacity to deal with it. They did not invest domestically enough in preparing for resilience. They will start looking more inwards.
As the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi settles into his third term, India's global influence continues to expand, reshaping both geopolitical dynamics and economic landscapes. Amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, India has emerged as a responsible global power, adeptly navigating complex international relations and offering leadership.
In this transformative era, the world turns to India for guidance. It is within this context that NDTV proudly presents its flagship event, NDTV World Summit 2024 – The India Century, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd.
Continuing NDTV’s legacy of pioneering media, we will also launch NDTV World at the summit, with the tagline: "Seeing the World from Where India Stands." NDTV World aims to be a leading voice from Asia and India on the global stage.
