GERMANY-CLIMATE 2 LAST

While noting that India has taken a number of steps for
climate change mitigation despite having a very low per capita
emission, Koehler said working towards a green economy will
also make Indian enterprises more competitive.

"At around one tonne per inhabitant, India's greenhouse
emissions are still far below those of the industrialised
nations," he noted.
Koehler said the increasing dense mesh of links among
communities, NGOs and companies can also play a key part in
winning the fight against global warming.
By the January 31 UN deadline, 55 countries, including
India, submitted their pledges for cutting their share of
greenhouse gases, a development welcomed by the world body as
an "important invigoration" to the Copenhagen talks.
The EU, which includes Germany, has pledged to a 30 per
cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020 compared to 1990
levels, provided that other developed countries commit
themselves to comparable emission reductions. PTI SKU
