India: Vacate carbon space to accomodate us, enviro minister asks developed world
2015-09-26 03:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Post: India will confirm plans next week for a five-fold increase in renewable energy by 2020, the environment minister said. But it will continue to champion poor countries in their demand that industrialized nations assume the brunt of responsibility for decades of climate-warming emissions. Describing poverty as a key source of global pollution, Prakash Javadekar told The Associated Press (AP) on Thursday that nations hoping to reach a global climate pact in Paris in December must commit to a world...
