India favours legally-binding outcome at Copenhagen
Washington | Monday, Nov 23 2009 IST
 

India would not like to see any outcome at the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change in December which would constrain the process ofdevelopment, official sources said here today.

It would, instead, like to see alongwith other 191 developing countries a ''substantive and legally binding'' outcome. This would be conveyed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to US President Barack Obama during their delegation-level talks at the White House on November 24.

The Prime Minister will also convey that developing countries should settle at a politically-binding outcome and that it would be India's effort to try and push to deliver the mandate of the Bali Action Plan (BAP) and the UN FCC.

The sources said some concerns (among developing countries) would have to be attended to that if they are not able to set at a legally-binding outcome, then there should be some kind of consensus on what kind of outcome is to be achieved.

''Let us see how far we can go,'' the sources said refusing to predict or pre-empt any outcome.
