CJI Surya Kant flags 'climate injustice', says developing nations cannot bear brunt of green transition

CJI Kant said the global shift towards clean energy must account for the differing circumstances of countries and ensure that the burden of transition is distributed fairly

Clean energy push unfair on developing nations: CJI Surya Kant

Speaking at the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, CJI Kant said, “Countries that are finally industrialising are being asked to move rapidly towards renewable power, and are often made to bear the brunt of criticism when they cannot move fast enough.” “The challenge, therefore, is to reconcile the urgency of the clean energy transition with the principles of fairness and shared responsibility that must underpin it,” the CJI said.
