In the run-up to the Copehnagen summit, India asked rich nations on Thursday to make "serious" efforts to bring down their greenhouse gas emissions to tolerable levels and asserted that developing countries "cannot and will not" compromise on development.
"If developed countries make a serious effort to bring their per capita emissions within tolerable levels, they will unleash large resources directed towards research," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said inaugurating a High Level Conference on Climate Change in New Delhi.
Making it clear that there was no shift in India's stand on climate change negotiations, he said developing countries "cannot and will not" compromise on development.
"We stand committed that our per capita carbon emissions will never exceed the average of the per capita carbon emissions of developed countries," he told the conference in the presence of Maldives President Mohammad Nasheed.
