The Prakriti 2026 Summit, held in New Delhi from March 19–22, marked a significant step in advancing climate action and green finance in India. Organized by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, the summit brought together global policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to discuss sustainable development and emission reduction strategies.
A key highlight of the event was the launch of the Indian Carbon Market Portal, a digital platform aimed at tracking, verifying, and trading carbon emissions. The portal supports the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), promoting transparency and efficiency in carbon markets through advanced technologies like IoT, satellite monitoring, and blockchain-based verification.
The summit aligns India’s climate goals with global frameworks such as the Paris Agreement, enabling participation in international carbon trading under Article 6. It also emphasizes inclusive growth by encouraging farmers and MSMEs to participate in carbon credit generation through sustainable practices.
Overall, Prakriti 2026 reflects India’s proactive approach to integrating climate action with economic growth, positioning the country as a key player in global carbon markets.
