Isramart : India informs UNFCCC about steps to reduce emissions

Isramart news:
New Delhi, Jan 30 (PTI) India today conveyed to the UNFCCC information on the voluntary domestic mitigation actions it will undertake to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 20-25 per cent by 2020.

The blueprint was submitted by India a day before the January 31 UN deadline for submitting the climate steps under the Copenhagen Accord.

"While these actions will be in the nature of India's contribution to the global efforts to address climate change, India has clarified that its domestic mitigation actions will be entirely voluntary in nature and will not have a legally binding character," the Ministry of Environment and Forests said in a press statement.
