He further asserted that India stands ready to “do whatever is required in making our planet greener and sustainable.”

“This is reflected in our various domestic policies, emphasis on Mission LiFE and global efforts like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure and more,” he added.

According to a statement, the award acknowledges Prime Minister Modi’s long-standing push for sustainable growth and his green vision.

This is the latest in a series of global honours that have recognised PM Modi’s work on climate action, sustainable development and green growth.

In 2018, Prime Minister was presented the Seoul Peace Prize for advancing sustainable economic growth, global cooperation and inclusive development.

In the same year, the United Nations conferred upon him the prestigious Champions of the Earth Award.
