UN Climate Change Conference 2015
Dear Readers,

UN Climate Change Conference has started in Paris on 30th November 2015 and will continue till 11th December 2015 where Heads of The State/Representatives will participate and will work towards saving the environment. This problem might need more dedication and firm determination and all of this should go beyond just a meeting. Hoping that The World will stick to the vows being made at the Conference. Above all, our PM also gave a speech in the conference. Let us read everything that one should know about the conference.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned the focus of the Paris Climate Conference to the historic high carbon emissions of rich nations and asked them to ratify the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol which major emitters have not done.

Addressing the Leaders Event at the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, Mr. Modi said the developed world should ratify Kyoto's second commitment in the period up to 2020, after which developing countries have pledged to begin their own voluntary actions. The Indian Prime Minister's reference to the Protocol stood out at the COP21 conference, where the discussions were mostly future-focussed, for the post-2020 era. The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol ended in 2012 and many advanced nations have baulked at engaging in mitigation actions, looking at domestic political compulsions. In a clear message that the onus of mitigation fell on the West, Mr. Modi said in an equitable system emissions reduction should be consistent with the carbon space that nations occupy.
