India has given no sign what kind of commitment it will make to address climate change in a global agreement. Officials previously stressed that India
would likely opt to slow emissions growth rather than set a peak year on the
grounds it is entitled to economic growth.
That position might no longer be tenable after China said this week its carbon emissions would peak by no later than 2030.
President Barack Obama deepened U.S. cuts to 26 percent to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, a goal it should be on track to meet with proposed new
rules on power plant emissions.
India's new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has already set renewable energy targets for the country michael kors jet set tote australia , including using solar energy to ensure full energy access by 2019, but analysts and experts are expecting more definitive
commitments.
The U.S.-China deal "frees up India to say what it believes is an equitable stance ... now that China is saying what it plans to do," said Alden Meyer,
director of international policy at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
While Modi's pledge to boost renewable energy is welcomed by activists, New Delhi has stressed it will mine more thermal coal to get power flowing to the
third of its 1.2 billion people still without electricity.
Indian officials declined to comment on the U.S.-China deal. Privately michael kors totes australia , they say Modi's new government is finalizing the position it will take to Lima in December.
Earlier this month, Modi recast the almost defunct Prime Minister's council on climate change, seeking to reinvigorate the body ahead of a pivotal year for
global talks.
Some experts think India can now play a more prominent role as a bridge between the United States and China and developing countries.
“India will be doing a balancing act,” said Krishnan Pallassana, India director of NGO The Climate Group.
India will likely argue that its per capita emissions are around 1.9 tonnes per person.
This gives Delhi plenty of room to argue that its own commitment should differ from China's as it continues to grow its economy and justify its
continued use of fossil fuels.
Local environmental groups say India's new climate strategy needs to address its reliance on coal.
"Energy poverty is no longer a justification for coal expansion michael kors shoulder bag australia ," said Ashish Fernandes of Greenpeace India.
U.S. officials are now turning their attention to India to ensure it helps secure a final UN climate treaty, which is to be negotiated in Lima and then
sealed in Paris in 2015.
John Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, will travel to India next week to meet officials working on climate
change, while former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Carol Browner
was in Delhi this week chairing the U.S. India Track II Dialogue on Climate
Change and Energy.
ROME michael kors satchel australia , Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- A special medical examination will be carried out on order of Italian prosecutors on a body recently found aboard
the wreck of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, local media reported Thursday.
