Glasgow (UK), Nov 02 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British Counterpart Boris Johnson on November 02 launched the Infrastructure for the Resilient Island States (IRIS) at the 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow. At the launch event, PM Modi said, “The launch of Infrastructure for Resilient Island States fills us with new hope and beliefs. This gives us the satisfaction to do something for the most vulnerable nations. The past few decades have proven that nobody remains untouched by effects of climate change. Be it developed nations or nations that are rich in natural resources. It's a huge threat.” “Small Island Developing States are most threatened with climate change. For them, it's a matter of life and death, a challenge to their existence. Calamities due to climate change can become devastation for them. It isn't only a challenge for their lives but also for their economy,” he added.
