The PM also put forth the idea of creating an international network of 30-40 universities and labs focusing for next ten years on renewable energy. "Innovation must be backed by means to make it affordable and ensure adoption," he said.

Earlier Modi also appealed to the developed countries for ‘climate' justice. "We have to ensure, in the spirit of climate justice, that the life of a few does not crowd out the opportunities for the many still on the initial steps of the development ladder. The advanced countries must leave enough room for developing countries to grow. And, we must strive for a lighter carbon footprint on our growth path.

For that we must come together in a partnership to bring clean energy within the reach of all."
