France welcomes commitment by India to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy
December 7 : France welcomes India’s announcement that it will reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 20-25% compared with 2005 levels by 2020.
Climate change is a global challenge which requires a response that is global, immediate and guided by principles of justice and equity.
This is the response that is at stake at the Copenhagen Summit and the decision announced by India gives an important signal at a time when the deliberations and negotiations are just getting underway.
This commitment is all the more encouraging given that India is burdened with particular constraints associated with its development and has begun a determined fight against poverty.
Given these circumstances, it is vital that the Copenhagen Summit lead to an agreement that forms the basis of a new model for sustainable development.
France reaffirms its determination to work with India and all of its partners in order to put together an ambitious, just and balanced agreement in Copenhagen, based on the Franco-Brazilian agreement.
