India may consider joining the 'Climate Club', an environmental initiative started by the G7 to boost climate action. The environment ministry is expected to initiate inter-ministerial discussions soon to consult different ministries on the sectoral implications of joining the Climate Club. The club has three pillars — advancing ambitious and transparent climate policies, supporting substantial industrial decarbonisation, and encouraging international cooperation towards a just transition. India may benefit from joining the global standardisation and pricing mechanism that may come with the initiative. The club aims to launch fully by next year's UN climate conference, COP28.
