India seems hesitant to join a global initiative at the upcoming COP28 climate summit, which aims to reduce emissions related to cooling, reported Reuters. The United Nations Environment Programme's Cool Coalition, in collaboration with COP28 host the United Arab Emirates, developed the pledge to reduce cooling-related CO2 emissions by a minimum of 68% by 2050 compared to 2022 levels. India's reluctance is primarily due to the country's need for cost-effective cooling solutions for its massive population.
