Pushing for a legally binding substantive outcome at the Copenhagen climate change meet, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said India is willing to sign on to an ambitious global target for emission reduction or limiting temperature increase if it is accompanied by an equitable burden-sharing paradigm.
He denounced attempts by some developed nations to junk the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions and said climate change "is becoming the pretext for pursuing protectionist policies under a green label" which would be rejected by India and other developing nations.
In a strongly-worded intervention at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meet (CHOGM) here, Singh said, "it is unfortunate that the global discourse on climate change has become enmeshed with arguments about maintaining economic competitiveness or level-playing fields."
