India has practically achieved its pre-2020 climate action targets: Javadekar

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday that India has practically achieved its pre-2020 climate action targets. “For the big countries, this is an answer from India, that though not responsible for climate change, we are taking responsible actions to mitigate the challenge,” he said.

“They must also commit to advance commitments of the Kyoto Protocol,” Javadekar added.

He tweeted, “Happy to inform that India has practically achieved its Pre-2020 #ClimateAction  targets. Although India is not responsible for historical emissions, India, under the dynamic leadership of PM @narendramodi  ji, is leading the world on #ClimateAction @moefcc”
