In his appeal, he urged technologies such as coal gasification, carbon capture, and green chemicals to encourage cleaner energy consumption across the globe. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He underlined that energy transitions should be fair, just, and specific to the unique circumstances of each country, reflecting the concept of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Highlights from the BRICS Joint Communiqu\u00e9<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The communiqu\u00e9 issued after the gathering emphasised some common objectives:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see enhanced energy cooperation among BRICS countries and the promotion of open, non-discriminatory energy markets. Increasing the use of local currencies in energy trade will help boost economic sovereignty for all involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are also committed to implementing DG 7 to provide everyone with universal access to energy and clean cooking and to eliminate energy poverty. A strong partnership via the BRICS Energy Research Cooperation Platform and the newly approved BRICS Energy Cooperation Roadmap 2025\u20132030 is an essential step in that direction. We seek to double energy efficiency by 2030 and extend clean energy with concessional finance across the Global South. We support aligned carbon intensity analysis, fair taxonomies, and strong sustainability certifications.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the communiqu\u00e9 highlights the NDB\u2019s pivotal role in facilitating infrastructure investment financing using local currencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Previewing India\u2019s 2026 Chairship<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he wrapped up his addresses, Shri Manohar Lal officially invited all of the BRICS nations to the 2026 BRICS Energy Forum, which would be hosted in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India\u2019s devotion to promoting innovation, leadership of the Global South, and reinforcing energy partnership was reflected in this invitation.\u00a0 India\u2019s initiative at the BRICS Energy Ministers\u2019 Meeting sets a benchmark for emerging nations hoping to balance affordability, sustainability, and equitable growth as global issues continue transforming the energy landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pnndigital.com\/category\/news\/\"><strong>PNN News<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi [India], May 20: During a significant demonstration of leadership, India advocated for an inclusive, sustainable, and secure global energy future at the BRICS Energy Ministers\u2019 Meeting held in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_rishi_post_view_count":209},"categories":[5],"tags":[677],"class_list":["post-52839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","tag-national","rishi-post"],"rishi__cb_customizer_meta":"","comments_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newswiredelhi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
