| Abstract: | India has transformed its attitude towards global climate multilateralism, becoming an active actor balancing its developmental concerns with its obligation to reduce and regulate emissions. The revolution implies changes in the national priorities, foreign policy, and environmental requirements. The analysis determines the strategies India has employed through multilateral arenas, including the UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties, its leadership in other multilateral initiatives, such as the International Solar Alliance, and its membership in coalitions like BASIC and G-77. It is based on the idea of promoting equity in India through common but differentiated responsibilities, negotiating climate finance and technology transfer, and aligning national policies with national commitments through the National Action Plan on Climate Change and nationally determined contributions. The research article examines the Indian diplomatic strategies in major COP negotiations, development/reduction, domestic politics, and feelings of marginalization. It also analyses how to enhance implementation, develop regional leadership in South Asia, and change how diplomats work in a polycentric governance system. The results indicate how moral commitments and pragmatic variables can affect India’s climate diplomacy and how they could influence future global climate laws. |
