India, the world's third-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has rejected calls to announce a net zero carbon emissions target and said it's more important for the world to lay out a pathway to reduce such emissions and avert a dangerous temperature rise.
India, the world's third-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after China and the United States, is under pressure to announce plans to become carbon neutral by mid-century or thereabouts at next week's climate conference in Glasgow.But environment secretary R.P.Gupta told reporters that announcing net zero was not the solution to the climate crisis."It is how much carbon you are going to put in the atmosphere before reaching net zero that is more important.
Representatives of nearly 200 countries will meet in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct. 31-Nov. 12 for climate talks to strengthen action to tackle global warming under the 2015 Paris Agreement.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the conference in a sign of how the country is taking climate change seriously, officials say. Chinese President Xi Jinping is not expected.
