Hon'ble Shri Narendra Modi Ji

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not just a leader; he is a visionary. From his humble beginnings, he has ascended to the highest office in the land and today, he is the driving force behind India's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

‍

Born to a family of grocers in Vadnagar, Mehsana, Gujarat, Modi was raised in a modest community with a strong emphasis on public service. His political career began in the early 1970s when he joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and he rapidly rose through its ranks due to his strong commitment to serving the people. His dedication to service eventually led him to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), where he further demonstrated his leadership abilities.

Modi's premiership has been marked by significant efforts to improve India's standing on the global stage and drive forward an agenda focused on comprehensive national growth. A critical part of this agenda is the commitment to environmental sustainability.

‍

In 2021, at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Prime Minister Modi pledged that India would achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070, a landmark commitment from a developing country with the world's third-largest carbon emissions.

‍

This pledge is a testament to Modi's vision for a prosperous yet sustainable India. He recognizes that the challenges posed by climate change are significant but believes that with concerted effort and smart, future-focused policies, India can turn these challenges into opportunities.

‍

As part of his sustainability vision, Modi has emphasized the importance of renewable energy, aiming for 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Under his leadership, India has become one of the top five countries in the world in terms of renewable energy capacity.

‍

Prime Minister Modi's vision for a sustainable India is not just about reducing emissions. It's about creating a society that values environmental responsibility, a society where every citizen, every business, and every government entity recognizes their role in preserving our planet.

His vision guides the work of NetZero India Foundation. Under his leadership, we strive to transform India into a country that balances its vibrant economic growth with the vital need to protect and nurture the environment.
