The world has to face the climate change disaster due to Europe, the US and China : India

Over the last 200 years India’s contribution in climate change is just 3%.

New Delhi – “Unbridled carbon emissions especially by Europe and the US over the last 200 years, and in the last 40 years by China have caused the climate change disaster, but over the last 200 years India’s contribution in the climate change is just 3%”, said Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekarin in the online programme on ‘Environment Conclave : Revival, Regeneration and Conservation of Nature’.

The Minister said, ‘European countries, the US and China prospered economically but polluted the world. India is one of the countries with the least contribution in climate change. As a part of the Paris agreement, developed countries had promised to give USD 100 billion (Rs. 7.3 lakh crore) every year to developing nations to combat climate change, but for the last 11 years no tangible action was taken.

Various natural disasters, cyclones are the result of climate change. Hence, we need to focus on preserving biodiversity and find solutions for environmental challenges.
