Having stitched together a climate deal at Copenhagen with a select group of countries, the government gave explanation in Parliament on some provisions in the Copenhagen Accord, especially those relating to international verification of voluntary action taken by India on climate change.
Saying that Copenhagen Accord not a legally-binding instrument because of India, China, South Africa and Brazil, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said, "There is a provision for international consultations and analysis for implementation of the actions reported through National Communications but it has been ensured in the accord that India's sovereignty is 'respected'."
"India, China, South Africa and Brazil were able to thwart attempts by some developed countries to see an end to Kyoto Protocol, which mandates rich nations to take deep emission cuts in a legally-binding manner," he said.
