RTI reveals Govt. failure to protect public interest in climate talks - press release
Information obtained under RTI act show that government of India put public interest at stake and risked future of over a billion people in past climate change negotiations. There are now indications of repeat performance during forthcoming climate talks at Cancun, Mexico which are to commence later this month. India's position on climate change can be summarised in the pledge that is often repeated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh -- no matter what, India will not compromise its economic growth for emission reductions.
