On October 23, 2026, Piyush Goyal raised concerns at the Berlin Global Dialogue about who is responsible for carbon emissions and environmental damage. He highlighted that India, with 17% of the world's population, contributes less than 3% to carbon emissions, while Europe has only 3-4% of the population. Goyal emphasized developed countries' historical fossil fuel use and urged consideration of this in climate accountability. He also noted India's efforts in clean energy despite its large energy and food needs.
