India to ratify COP 21 Global Climate Agreement

Reasserting India’s commitment to carbon emission reduction and sustainable development, Union Environment, Forests & Climate Change Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that India, along with 100 other nations would ratify the COP 21 Global Climate Agreement. COP 21 would be ratified at a high level signing ceremony to be convened at the UN Headquarters in New York. The agreement, negotiated in Paris in December 2015, sets out a global action plan to put the world on track by limiting global warming below 2oC.

Speaking at a symposium “COP 21 – Building Synergies, Shaping Actions” organised in the University of Mumbai, Javadekar said, “All countries have decided to walk the green path as per their common but differentiated responsibilities.”
