India Not to Agree on Emission Reduction Targets on Climate Change
India has made it clear that it is not going to agree on any emission reduction targets in the climate change negotiations which are to climax in Copenhagen later this year, but has expressed the hope that there will be consensus on financing emission control programmes in developing countries aided by technology transfer.
Besides, New Delhi has also dismissed any possibility of phasing out energy pricing saying that thought it was an objective, it would not be implemented at the expense of poor people.
India’s position was enunciated on the sidelines of the G20 Summit by the Prime Minister’s Special Envoy on Climate Change, Shyam Saran, who attended the just concluded conference in the United Nations and the Major Economies Forum last week in Washington.
