As Heat Turns Up On Climate Debate, India Stresses Fair Share in Carbon Budget, Says IPCC Backs Its Stand
News 18India welcomes the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which fully supports the country’s view on the necessity of climate finance for developing countries, Union minister for environment forests and climate change Bhupender Yadav said on Tuesday. It has also noted the failure of developed countries to provide climate finance of $100 billion per year till 2020, that they had initially pledged to support the fight against climate change. The @IPCC_CH report underlines the need for deep and urgent global emissions reduction and justifies India’s emphasis on equity at all scales in climate action and sustainable development. “India walks the talks, and speaks from position of strength and responsibility on subject of climate change,” said Yadav, asserting that the government firmly believes that climate change is a global collective action problem that can be solved only through international co-operation and multilateralism.
