Trade barriers and climate adaptation take centre stage in India’s Post-COP30 dialogue

Muskan Bhatia,
New Delhi, 11 Dec (UNI) Climate talks usually crawl along, but every now and then a bit of quiet shoulder-nudging can jolt the global conversation. That was the mood at a Post-COP dialogue in Delhi on Wednesday, where Indian officials and climate experts said years of low-key diplomacy have finally pushed the world to acknowledge an issue India has been warning about for nearly a decade: climate policies being used as unfair trade barriers.
The event, jointly organised by the Chintan Research Foundation (CRF) and TERI at the India Habitat Centre, brought together senior policymakers, climate negotiators, and researchers to unpack the outcomes of the recently concluded COP30 in Belem. While the panel addressed topics ranging from finance and adaptation to just transitions, it was India’s stance on unilateral trade measures that quickly set the tone.
