PM to address global climate summit tomorrow to mark 5th anniversary of Paris Climate Pact

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that climate change is not an overnight phenomenon and it has taken the last 100 years to have an impact on the environment.

Briefing the media in New Delhi on the eve of completion of five years of the Paris Agreement, Mr Javadekar said, climate change is not a result of recent actions but of historical actions. He said, historically the USA has 25 per cent of all emissions, Europe has 22 per cent whereas China has 13 per cent and India only 3 per cent.

Mr Javadekar informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the global climate summit tomorrow on the fifth anniversary of the landmark Paris Climate Agreement.
