With the same spirit, India is proposing the launch of the 'G20 Satellite Mission for Environment and Climate Observation', he said.
"The climate and weather data obtained from this will be shared with all the countries, especially the countries of the Global South. India invites all G20 countries to join this initiative," Modi said during a session at the G20 Summit.

"Recalling our collective actions to stem earlier global crises, we are determined to steer the world out of its current challenges and build a safer, stronger, more resilient, inclusive and healthier future for our people and the planet," the New Delhi Declaration adopted at the G20 Summit said.
