Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] India has proposed that Global Climate Treaty after 2020, should be similar to existing treaty Kyoto Protocol stipulating mandatory emission cuts for the developed world and voluntary mitigation action for the developing world. European Union after the Durban Climate Conference has claimed that the new climate treaty to be effective after 2020, should have emission reduction targets for all nations depending on the level of emission trajectory. India, which has opposed any binding emission cuts, has told United Nations that it would like the post 2020 arrangements to resemble the Kyoto type approach. The responsibilities of developing countries in a post 2020 arrangement will clearly need to be built on the principles of equity and common, but differentiated responsibility. India has also told the world community that it will engage in discussion on the principles of equity and differentiated responsibility but made it clear that one set of rules cannot apply to all the countries. Agreeing with the view point that emission gap needs to be bridged, India said it also meant funding by the richer nations for adopting cleaner technologies and building capacity to fight climate change.
