Prime Minister Modi emphasized that global institutions  have an important role  to play  in encouraging countries  across the world. Referring to the World Bank Group’s  proposed increase in climate finance from 26% to 35%, as a share of  total financing, he said that the focus  of this climate finance is usually on  conventional aspects. “Adequate financing methods  need to be worked out  for behavioural  initiatives too. A show of support by the World Bank  towards behavioural  initiatives  such as Mission LiFE  will have  a multiplier effect”, he concluded.
