Climate Change Intended Nationally Determined Contributions

The real problem for us lies not in the international arena of verbose and obscure diplomatic jargon but in the very real steps that will have to be taken on the ground in India to give credence to Modi's INDCs as we convert them into pledged NDCs requiring Plans of Action.

Terming as "game changer" the national climate action plans of every country, India today strongly voiced its concern over exclusion of these plans in the new draft negotiating text unveiled by climate change negotiators and said developed countries did not fulfil their obligations.

The world's 48 poorest countries will need to find around a trillion dollars between 2020 and 2030 to achieve their plans to tackle climate change - and those plans should be a priority for international funding, researchers said.

Reacting sharply to US Secretary of State John Kerry's remark that New Delhi will be a "challenge" at the upcoming Paris climate change summit, India today said the statement was deliberate and an attempt to divide developing nations.

India's plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions indicates its "seriousness" in confronting climate change challenges and will help the world "bend" temperature projections for the rest of the century, UN chief Ban Ki-moon has said ahead of the crucial Paris summit.

Plans by about 150 countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions will slow climate change this century and keep alive a goal of limiting a rise in temperatures to two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), the United Nations said today.

India has warned that global efforts to arrive at a climate deal in Paris later this year will not succeed if they are laced with persistent attempts to dislodge the balance of responsibilities between developed and developing countries, stressing that the path to climate ambition must be paved with equity.

All major developed countries failed to take on their "fair share" in planned efforts to tackle climate change, a study by 18 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) said.

India will submit "comprehensive and balanced" Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) on reducing emissions next week to coincide with the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has said.
