Why should we continue to delay actions under the Kyoto Protocol: Ravishankar Prasad

AS COUNTRIES try to finalise rules and processes for implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, India on Wednesday chided the developed world for continuing to ignore their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol that still has four years of life left.

India’s chief negotiator Ravishankar Prasad said it was ironical that while it took less than a year to operationalise the Paris Agreement, countries had still not ratified the 2012 Doha amendments to the Kyoto Protocol that assigned emission reduction targets for developed nations till 2020.
