Paris Climate Meet: India’s offer to slow greenhouse gas emissions to be minimalist
Source: Indian Express, Date: , 2015
Moving away from its earlier intention of submitting a
comprehensive climate action plan ahead of the Paris climate meet, India is
preparing to make a minimalist offer indicating a single target for slowing
down the growth of its greenhouse gas emissions. Countries are in the process
of submitting their respective climate action plans, being called Intended
Nationally Determined Contributions, or INDCs, in official jargon, detailing
steps they intend to take to deal with climate change. The submissions have to
be made before October, well in time for the Paris climate meet where a global
climate treaty is expected to be finalised.
