Abstract
The chapter outlines reasons for the continued validity of India’s climate compass setting, and also argues for rethinking the map of climate diplomacy. Central to the challenge of global agreement is a lack of agreement on the costs of addressing climate change and how those costs will be divided. In forging a revised strategic vision, an updated map would need to take into account several new realities. Over the last two decades boundaries have blurred between international negotiations and domestic politics, entrenched North-South politics, and tectonic geopolitical shifts leading to a multipolar world. The chapter traces India’s position in global climate negotiations over the past few decades.
