Exoplanets
✓Recently, NASA has announced that the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an-Earth sized exoplanet.
✓LHS 475 b as named, is located just 41 light years away, orbits very close to a red dwarf star and completes a full orbit in two days.
What are Exoplanets?
✓Exoplanets orbit other stars and beyond our solar system.
✓They come in a host of different sizes and temperature ranges.
✓Researchers look for their mass and diameter and if they are solid, gaseous or have water vapour in their atmosphere.
✓Finding out the distance between an exoplanet and it's host star helps to determine if it is habitable or not.

CHALLENGES
✓Lack of unified stance: among the countries of the global South on the major issues of the day, such as decolonization and the Cold War.
✓Issue of Green Energy Fund: Although Global North countries contribute more to global emissions, they neglect to pay for green energy, which ultimately harms the least emitters - the less developed countries.
✓China’s Interference: China is increasingly making inroads in the Global South through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for developing infrastructure.
✓North’s Interference in South: One major issue is economic inequality, as U.S.-dominated international trade and financial systems favor developed countries at the expense of developing ones.
LATEST DEVELOPMENT
✓Balancing Nationalism and Internationalism:
India needs to contribute in more significant ways to modernising and democratising the global order.
✓Identifying Simple, Scalable and Sustainable Solutions: With such an approach, it is possible to overcome the difficult challenges — whether it is poverty, universal healthcare or building human capacities.
✓Regaining the Trust of Other Developing Countries: As a low middle income country seeking rapid economic development India remains well placed to be the “Voice of the Global South”
✓Role of G-20: At the G20 summit, India and other countries from the global south can raise their concerns and share their perspectives on key issues such as economic growth, trade, investment, and development.

GOVERNANCE OF GLOBAL SOUTH (1/2)
✓In an attempt to balance the West and with an Eye on the North, India is hoping to rally the ‘South’. The theme of the recently held two-day virtual Voice of the Global South 2023 Summit - “Unity of Voice, Unity of Purpose” - is India’s attempt to add another note to the chorus of the global order.
✓The forum is also about India reconnecting with a global group of nations that had fallen off the Indian foreign policy radar since the end of the Cold War.
What is Global South?
✓The term ‘Global South’ began by loosely referring to those countries that were left out of the industrialisation era and had a conflict of ideology with the capitalist and communist countries, accentuated by the Cold War.
✓It includes countries that are mostly in Asia, Africa and South America.
✓Moreover, Global North is defined essentially by an economic division between the rich and poor countries. Global North’ refers loosely to countries like the US, Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.
✓Global South’ is significant because of its large population, rich cultures, and abundant natural resources.
ISSUES WITH THE GLOBAL SOUTH
✓Economic inequality
✓Political instability
✓Lack of infrastructure
✓Climate change
✓Limited human capacity
