India's Environment Minister, Bhupender Yadav, made a strong statement at the COP30 summit in Brazil. He said that richer countries need to do more to fight climate change. They should cut their emissions to zero faster than planned. Also, they should give more money to poorer countries to help them deal with climate issues.

Yadav spoke on Monday in Belém. He said that developed countries should aim for net zero emissions earlier than they have promised. He also said they should provide more money for climate projects. This money should be in trillions, not billions. The money should be easy to get and have low interest rates.

This is a big deal because climate change affects everyone. Rich countries have more resources and technology. They can do more to cut emissions. They also have a responsibility to help poorer countries. These countries often suffer the most from climate change. But they have fewer resources to deal with it.

Yadav's words are a reminder that climate change is a global problem. It needs global solutions. Rich countries need to lead the way. They need to act faster and provide more support. Only then can the world meet its climate targets.
