Piyush Goyal challenges Europe over historical climate responsibility
Original: 'Who did most harm to Ozone layer?': Piyush Goyal holds up the mirror to Europe on climate change
Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal pushed back against European pressure on climate policy, asking pointedly which countries caused the most harm to the ozone layer. He argued that developed nations built their prosperity on decades of emissions and should not now dictate terms to developing economies. The remarks have drawn wide attention, with supporters applauding the challenge to Europe and critics questioning India's own environmental record.
Why now: Tension between developed and developing countries over who should bear the burden of climate action is a live debate in trade and climate negotiations.
