India heads to COP29 with red lines tied to Paris Pact

India is gearing up for COP29 with a firm stance on climate finance, urging developed nations to fulfill their commitments. The nation is set to advocate for new, grant-based funding mechanisms and resist pressure to restrict investments in coal-based projects. India's position on post-2026 climate targets will depend on the outcomes of COP29 and the stances taken by other countries.
