    First of all, what is the motive of COP?
  • The COP enjoys the participation of 196 countries and the European Union (EU). The main motive of COP is to identify viable solutions to challenges like desertification, land degradation, and drought.

    Its high-level segment started today, in the presence of PM Modi, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, and ministers from other countries.

    Union Minister Prakash Javadekar also attended today's function.

  • In his address, PM Modi called on the world to bid adieu to single-use plastic.

    "My government has announced that India will put an end to single-use plastic in the coming years. I believe the time has come for even the world to say good-bye to single-use plastic," he said.

    To recall, he had spoken about this from Red Fort on Independence Day too.

    These items include plastic bags, cups, plates, small bottles, straws and certain types of sachets.
