During the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) conference, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav highlighted India's significant contributions to global change, particularly in renewable energy and biodiversity conservation. He noted that India is the third-largest country in terms of renewable energy installed capacity, boasting a 150 gigawatts solar capacity, a remarkable increase from just 2.82 gigawatts in 2014. The country has also successfully reduced its emissions intensity by 36% between 2005 and 2020, showcasing its commitment to sustainability.

Yadav announced India's upcoming leadership role at the first International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit, scheduled for June 1-2, 2026, where India will present a global vision for big cat conservation. This summit, attended by around 13 heads of state, aims to adopt the 'Delhi Declaration on Big Cat Conservation,' focusing on collaborative efforts to protect species like tigers, lions, and leopards. Yadav emphasized the importance of corporate funding for conservation initiatives, which include habitat restoration and community engagement, to ensure the survival of these apex predators and maintain ecological balance.
