&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Funds release after Kasturirangan Committee submits report&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Greenpeace hails India&amp;rsquo;s proposal to cut carbon intensity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Planning Commission has promised a substantial hike in funds allocation to study climate change impact and the funds will be made available after the Kasturirangan Committee submits a report.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;This was stated by Member (Energy), Planning Commission, B.K. Chaturvedi, while inaugurating &amp;ldquo;Power Conference 2009,&amp;rdquo; organised by Assocham here on Friday. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Only on Thursday, Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh expressed serious concern in the Lok Sabha over poor government allocation for such research. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Chaturvedi, said: &amp;ldquo;the Commission had allocated Rs.1,000 crore to study the impact of climate change for research and development projects and the amount needs to be multiplied as it is too meagre to assess such a vast subject.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has warned that as the country moves towards negotiations in Copenhagen, it was important to know how announcements on domestic and voluntary targets will be used by the rich nations to change the very terms and foundation of the global climate agreement. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to reporters, CSE director Sunita Narain said that in Copenhagen, the developed countries would like to change the current agreement that made legally binding emissions mandatory on them. &amp;ldquo;This would be disastrous for the world&amp;rsquo;s climate change efforts to cut emissions. It will be disastrous for us, as global emissions will rise and put millions of Indians at risk.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;International review &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The key issue that India would have to ensure at Copenhagen was to make sure that the developing countries&amp;rsquo; position to accept international review and verification only for the actions that had received funds or technology transfer must not be compromised. This stance was non-negotiable for developing countries. Any shift in this position would have major implications. &amp;ldquo;The fact is that if international review or verification is accepted, then a country&amp;rsquo;s domestic and voluntary target becomes an international commitment,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Welcoming the government proposal to reduce carbon emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 from 2005 levels, Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman, CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Council on Climate Change, said it was heartening to know that the country had reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6 per cent between 1990 and 2005. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Environment Minister&amp;rsquo;s target to achieve a further 20-25 per cent reduction in emission intensity over the next 15 years is completely doable and will give the opportunity for India to lead by synchronising our XII Plan on low carbon growth,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;With focus on emission intensity than the absolute emissions, India would be able to actually realise its aspiration to build a low carbon economy as there would be more output with each unit of emission, thereby benefitting the economy a great deal.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong statement &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Greenpeace also welcomed India&amp;rsquo;s proposal, saying that it was a strong statement of intention to be a deal maker at Copenhagen. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;These targets are a good, positive step towards quantification of India&amp;rsquo;s action on climate change on the eve of the crucial Copenhagen conference. The Indian administration has shown long-term vision to move on a low-carbon growth path and clearly positioned themselves as moral leaders,&amp;rdquo; said Vinuta Gopal, climate campaign manager, Greenpeace India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Greenpeace hails India&amp;rsquo;s proposal to cut carbon intensity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Planning Commission has promised a substantial hike in funds allocation to study climate change impact and the funds will be made available after the Kasturirangan Committee submits a report.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;This was stated by Member (Energy), Planning Commission, B.K. Chaturvedi, while inaugurating &amp;ldquo;Power Conference 2009,&amp;rdquo; organised by Assocham here on Friday. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Only on Thursday, Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh expressed serious concern in the Lok Sabha over poor government allocation for such research. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Chaturvedi, said: &amp;ldquo;the Commission had allocated Rs.1,000 crore to study the impact of climate change for research and development projects and the amount needs to be multiplied as it is too meagre to assess such a vast subject.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has warned that as the country moves towards negotiations in Copenhagen, it was important to know how announcements on domestic and voluntary targets will be used by the rich nations to change the very terms and foundation of the global climate agreement. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to reporters, CSE director Sunita Narain said that in Copenhagen, the developed countries would like to change the current agreement that made legally binding emissions mandatory on them. &amp;ldquo;This would be disastrous for the world&amp;rsquo;s climate change efforts to cut emissions. It will be disastrous for us, as global emissions will rise and put millions of Indians at risk.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;International review &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The key issue that India would have to ensure at Copenhagen was to make sure that the developing countries&amp;rsquo; position to accept international review and verification only for the actions that had received funds or technology transfer must not be compromised. This stance was non-negotiable for developing countries. Any shift in this position would have major implications. &amp;ldquo;The fact is that if international review or verification is accepted, then a country&amp;rsquo;s domestic and voluntary target becomes an international commitment,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Welcoming the government proposal to reduce carbon emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 from 2005 levels, Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman, CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Council on Climate Change, said it was heartening to know that the country had reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6 per cent between 1990 and 2005. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Environment Minister&amp;rsquo;s target to achieve a further 20-25 per cent reduction in emission intensity over the next 15 years is completely doable and will give the opportunity for India to lead by synchronising our XII Plan on low carbon growth,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;With focus on emission intensity than the absolute emissions, India would be able to actually realise its aspiration to build a low carbon economy as there would be more output with each unit of emission, thereby benefitting the economy a great deal.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong statement &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Greenpeace also welcomed India&amp;rsquo;s proposal, saying that it was a strong statement of intention to be a deal maker at Copenhagen. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;These targets are a good, positive step towards quantification of India&amp;rsquo;s action on climate change on the eve of the crucial Copenhagen conference. The Indian administration has shown long-term vision to move on a low-carbon growth path and clearly positioned themselves as moral leaders,&amp;rdquo; said Vinuta Gopal, climate campaign manager, Greenpeace India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Greenpeace hails India&amp;rsquo;s proposal to cut carbon intensity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Planning Commission has promised a substantial hike in funds allocation to study climate change impact and the funds will be made available after the Kasturirangan Committee submits a report.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;This was stated by Member (Energy), Planning Commission, B.K. Chaturvedi, while inaugurating &amp;ldquo;Power Conference 2009,&amp;rdquo; organised by Assocham here on Friday. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Only on Thursday, Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh expressed serious concern in the Lok Sabha over poor government allocation for such research. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Chaturvedi, said: &amp;ldquo;the Commission had allocated Rs.1,000 crore to study the impact of climate change for research and development projects and the amount needs to be multiplied as it is too meagre to assess such a vast subject.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has warned that as the country moves towards negotiations in Copenhagen, it was important to know how announcements on domestic and voluntary targets will be used by the rich nations to change the very terms and foundation of the global climate agreement. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to reporters, CSE director Sunita Narain said that in Copenhagen, the developed countries would like to change the current agreement that made legally binding emissions mandatory on them. &amp;ldquo;This would be disastrous for the world&amp;rsquo;s climate change efforts to cut emissions. It will be disastrous for us, as global emissions will rise and put millions of Indians at risk.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;International review &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The key issue that India would have to ensure at Copenhagen was to make sure that the developing countries&amp;rsquo; position to accept international review and verification only for the actions that had received funds or technology transfer must not be compromised. This stance was non-negotiable for developing countries. Any shift in this position would have major implications. &amp;ldquo;The fact is that if international review or verification is accepted, then a country&amp;rsquo;s domestic and voluntary target becomes an international commitment,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Welcoming the government proposal to reduce carbon emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 from 2005 levels, Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman, CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Council on Climate Change, said it was heartening to know that the country had reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6 per cent between 1990 and 2005. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Environment Minister&amp;rsquo;s target to achieve a further 20-25 per cent reduction in emission intensity over the next 15 years is completely doable and will give the opportunity for India to lead by synchronising our XII Plan on low carbon growth,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;With focus on emission intensity than the absolute emissions, India would be able to actually realise its aspiration to build a low carbon economy as there would be more output with each unit of emission, thereby benefitting the economy a great deal.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong statement &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Greenpeace also welcomed India&amp;rsquo;s proposal, saying that it was a strong statement of intention to be a deal maker at Copenhagen. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;These targets are a good, positive step towards quantification of India&amp;rsquo;s action on climate change on the eve of the crucial Copenhagen conference. The Indian administration has shown long-term vision to move on a low-carbon growth path and clearly positioned themselves as moral leaders,&amp;rdquo; said Vinuta Gopal, climate campaign manager, Greenpeace India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Funds release after Kasturirangan Committee submits report&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Greenpeace hails India&amp;rsquo;s proposal to cut carbon intensity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Planning Commission has promised a substantial hike in funds allocation to study climate change impact and the funds will be made available after the Kasturirangan Committee submits a report.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;This was stated by Member (Energy), Planning Commission, B.K. Chaturvedi, while inaugurating &amp;ldquo;Power Conference 2009,&amp;rdquo; organised by Assocham here on Friday. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Only on Thursday, Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh expressed serious concern in the Lok Sabha over poor government allocation for such research. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Mr. Chaturvedi, said: &amp;ldquo;the Commission had allocated Rs.1,000 crore to study the impact of climate change for research and development projects and the amount needs to be multiplied as it is too meagre to assess such a vast subject.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has warned that as the country moves towards negotiations in Copenhagen, it was important to know how announcements on domestic and voluntary targets will be used by the rich nations to change the very terms and foundation of the global climate agreement. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Talking to reporters, CSE director Sunita Narain said that in Copenhagen, the developed countries would like to change the current agreement that made legally binding emissions mandatory on them. &amp;ldquo;This would be disastrous for the world&amp;rsquo;s climate change efforts to cut emissions. It will be disastrous for us, as global emissions will rise and put millions of Indians at risk.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;International review &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The key issue that India would have to ensure at Copenhagen was to make sure that the developing countries&amp;rsquo; position to accept international review and verification only for the actions that had received funds or technology transfer must not be compromised. This stance was non-negotiable for developing countries. Any shift in this position would have major implications. &amp;ldquo;The fact is that if international review or verification is accepted, then a country&amp;rsquo;s domestic and voluntary target becomes an international commitment,&amp;rdquo; she said. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Welcoming the government proposal to reduce carbon emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 from 2005 levels, Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman, CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Council on Climate Change, said it was heartening to know that the country had reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6 per cent between 1990 and 2005. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Environment Minister&amp;rsquo;s target to achieve a further 20-25 per cent reduction in emission intensity over the next 15 years is completely doable and will give the opportunity for India to lead by synchronising our XII Plan on low carbon growth,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;With focus on emission intensity than the absolute emissions, India would be able to actually realise its aspiration to build a low carbon economy as there would be more output with each unit of emission, thereby benefitting the economy a great deal.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong statement &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Greenpeace also welcomed India&amp;rsquo;s proposal, saying that it was a strong statement of intention to be a deal maker at Copenhagen. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;These targets are a good, positive step towards quantification of India&amp;rsquo;s action on climate change on the eve of the crucial Copenhagen conference.

Substantial funds for climate study promised by Aarti Dhar

Funds release after Kasturirangan Committee submits report Greenpeace hails India’s proposal to cut carbon intensity The Planning Commission has promised a substantial hike in funds allocation to study climate change impact and the funds will be made available after the Kasturirangan Committee submits a report. This was stated by Member (Energy), Planning Commission, B.K. Chaturvedi, while inaugurating “Power Conference 2009,” organised by Assocham here on Friday. Only on Thursday, Minister of State (independent charge) for Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh expressed serious concern in the Lok Sabha over poor government allocation for such research. Mr. Chaturvedi, said: “the Commission had allocated Rs.1,000 crore to study the impact of climate change for research and development projects and the amount needs to be multiplied as it is too meagre to assess such a vast subject.” Meanwhile, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has warned that as the country moves towards negotiations in Copenhagen, it was important to know how announcements on domestic and voluntary targets will be used by the rich nations to change the very terms and foundation of the global climate agreement. Talking to reporters, CSE director Sunita Narain said that in Copenhagen, the developed countries would like to change the current agreement that made legally binding emissions mandatory on them. “This would be disastrous for the world’s climate change efforts to cut emissions. It will be disastrous for us, as global emissions will rise and put millions of Indians at risk.” International review The key issue that India would have to ensure at Copenhagen was to make sure that the developing countries’ position to accept international review and verification only for the actions that had received funds or technology transfer must not be compromised. This stance was non-negotiable for developing countries. Any shift in this position would have major implications. “The fact is that if international review or verification is accepted, then a country’s domestic and voluntary target becomes an international commitment,” she said. Welcoming the government proposal to reduce carbon emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 from 2005 levels, Jamshyd N. Godrej, chairman, CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Council on Climate Change, said it was heartening to know that the country had reduced its carbon emission intensity by 17.6 per cent between 1990 and 2005. “The Environment Minister’s target to achieve a further 20-25 per cent reduction in emission intensity over the next 15 years is completely doable and will give the opportunity for India to lead by synchronising our XII Plan on low carbon growth,” he said. With focus on emission intensity than the absolute emissions, India would be able to actually realise its aspiration to build a low carbon economy as there would be more output with each unit of emission, thereby benefitting the economy a great deal. Strong statement Greenpeace also welcomed India’s proposal, saying that it was a strong statement of intention to be a deal maker at Copenhagen. “These targets are a good, positive step towards quantification of India’s action on climate change on the eve of the crucial Copenhagen conference. The Indian administration has shown long-term vision to move on a low-carbon growth path and clearly positioned themselves as moral leaders,” said Vinuta Gopal, climate campaign manager, Greenpeace India.
