France, India and UAE agree on climate cooperation under a trilateral framework

 India, France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have agreed to cooperate in areas of defence, climate, nuclear energy and technology under a trilateral framework. 

A joint statement from the three countries revealed that they agreed to work in the field of climate operation. They said that the trilateral initiative would serve as a forum to promote the design and execution of cooperation projects in the fields of energy.

The foreign ministers of the UAE, India and France held a phone conversation on the matter. Subsequently, the joint statement said, "It was acknowledged that defence is an area of close cooperation between the three countries.” The three countries said that the trilateral framework would help to expand cooperation between their countries' development agencies on sustainable projects.

They announced plans to launch energy projects, with a special focus on solar and nuclear energy. According to the joint statement, the projects would particularly centre around the Indian Ocean region. They said that they would align their policies with the goals of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

The three foreign ministers met in September 2022 for the first time in a trilateral format on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. The three countries agreed to establish a formal trilateral cooperation initiative to expand cooperation in various fields, including defence and climate change. A phone call was held on Sunday between the three foreign ministers to adopt a roadmap for the implementation of this initiative.

This year, the UAE is set to host the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). The COP28 will convene from 30 November to 12 December 2023. The UAE would address the problems related to climate change and establish solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.
