BENGALURU: India is being "closely watched" for its intended contribution towards the global response to climate change, US ambassador Richard Verma said on Monday.
“Prime Minister Modi understands the leadership role India needs to take. We are not in two camps anymore but should work as one single camp. I guess India will also do that. We will see what India will do” Verma said while addressing CII
"India's size, economic growth projections and already significant greenhouse gas emissions means there is tremendous interest around the world" on its proposed contribution to mitigating climate change, Mr Verma added.
Ahead of the crucial climate change negotiations at Paris 2015 in December, global emitters, where India ranks fourth after China, US and the EU, will submit their "Intended Nationally Determined Contributions".
The INDCs will be the announcement of their commitment to adopt measures for clean energy and produce greenhouse gas emissions.
