At the same time, India will also stress the urgency to take adaptation action. Adaptation in the agriculture sector from the point of view of food security is a key priority for developing countries.
India will also push operationalisation and meaningful outcomes from the new bodies set up under the Paris agreement which includes technology framework and Paris committee on capacity building.
While developing the implementation arrangements for the Paris Agreement, any guidance must respect the Convention’s principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities, the Ministry said.
The Paris agreement came into force yesterday, 30 days after the date on which at least 55 signatory countries to the Convention accounting for a minimum of 55 per cent of the total global greenhouse gas emissions deposited their instruments of ratification.
The Paris agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
