Cop21 New Draft

India today said several of its concerns, including voluntary pledges of nations on climate change, have not been incorporated in the new draft which "is the starting point for the final push" as negotiators raced against time to reach an accord to fight global warming.

India has voiced its strong concern over a revised draft accord released at the climate summit in Paris and said that putting polluters and victims on the same level cannot lead to a durable solution. New Delhi says that developed nations should take the lead in reducing emissions instead of shifting the burden on developing countries like India.
