India emerged as a rapid, growing economy after the pandemic: Commerce and Industry Minister

Piyush Goyal asks businesses and policymakers at B-20 dialogue meeting to adopt a sustainable and green approach 

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday asked businesses and policymakers at B-20 dialogue meeting, a part of the G-20, to adopt a sustainable and green approach in business practices in view of disruptions caused by climate change. 

The ‘B-20 India 2023’ dialogue is taking place under the theme of ‘RAISE’ — an acronym for Responsible, Accelerated, Innovative, Sustainable and Equitable businesses. 

Addressing the B-20’s Inception Meeting in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar, the Minister told the gathering of over 600 delegates to use the B-20 forum along with the G-20 to look at ways to collectively work towards a sustainable and equitable future agenda.

“Through the theme of G-20 in India — ‘one earth one family one future’ — India wants to inspire to care for each other, care for future, and care for the earth,” Mr. Goyal said. 

He also talked about the measures India has taken in terms of adopting and implementing environmental goals. 

“India regularly files UNFCCC report and has already exceeded its goal for 2030, of having a 40% share of renewable energy in its installed capacity in 2021. India takes each Sustainable Development Goal very seriously,” he said in his address at the plenary session of the Inception Meeting. 

He also talked about how India has emerged as a rapid growing economy after the pandemic and is today a bright spot in the global environment.
