India failed to protect people’s interests, says Greenpeace

By endorsing the Copenhagen Accord at the just-concluded U.N. climate meet, India has failed to protect the interests of the people most affected by climate change not only in India but worldwide, environmental group Greenpeace said on Tuesday.

Reacting to the Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh’s statement on India’s position at Copenhagen on climate change, it said India shirked its responsibility to show leadership and let down the most impacted communities in the least developed countries and island states.

Prior to going to Copenhagen, Mr. Ramesh had said that India was the “most vulnerable” nation due to impacts of climate change. Over 700 million Indians are dependent on climate-sensitive sectors and resources and by endorsing this Accord, India has failed to protect the interests of the people most affected by climate change, Greenpeace said in a statement.

While appreciating India’s willingness to report nationally on unsupported actions to Parliament, Greenpeace said it was a good proactive step.

“With this decision, India is showing transparency of its mitigation actions.”
