New Delhi:
Amid hectic negotiations at the Copenhagen climate change meet, the Union Cabinet on Thursday finalised the brief for India's position to be adopted on the issue at the high-level talks.
Sources said that the Cabinet Ministers had a brainstorming session on the developments at the global conference and marked red lines for the negotiations India will adhere to.
Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh will be leaving for Copenhagen Friday morning to attend the summit while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will attend the Summit on December 18 to push for an ambitious deal.
While refusing to take legally binding cuts, India has announced 20-25 per cent emission intensity cuts by 2020 compared to the 2005 levels as a "domestic action" to show its seriousness to curb the greenhouse gases.
Critics have said that India announced recent carbon intensity cuts only in response to pressure from developed countries.
