In an exclusive conversation with Siddharth Zarabi, Group Editor, Business Today, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva says weakening global climate consensus is a concern for everyone, especially countries vulnerable to climate shocks like India. While acknowledging the real and rising risks of climate change, she calls it a leadership opportunity for India. Citing the International Solar Alliance as a strong example, Georgieva says India can step up for its people and the world. She adds that India’s growth and innovation-driven momentum not only boost global growth but also inspire other nations to follow its development path.
