India rebuffs US carbon call
摘要:印度昨晚拒绝了美国国务卿希拉里克林顿(Hillary Clinton)的减排呼吁。希拉里呼吁,两国共同拥抱一个低碳未来,合力设计新的能源消费及生产方式。
India last night rebuffed an appeal by Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state, to embrace a low-carbon future in which the two countries would work together to devise new ways of consuming and producing energy.
Mrs Clinton, on a five-day visit to the country, said that low-carbon emissions would not jeopardise India's high economic growth rates and its goal of lifting millions of people out of poverty. She offered a technological partnership to secure the fast growing nation's energy supplies and help boost the livelihoods of its farmers.
“There is simply no case for the pressure that we, who have been among the lowest emissions per capita, face to actually reduce emissions,” Jairam Ramesh, India's environment minister told Mrs Clinton. “And as if this pressure was not enough, we also face the threat of carbon tariffs on our exports to countries such as yours.”
In spite of the two countries' battles in global trade talks and fears of India's slipping down the US's priority list, Mrs Clinton vowed that Washington would not do “anything” to stand in the way of the world's largest democracy's economic progress.
Speaking in Delhi yesterday, Mrs Clinton said: “We believe that economic progress in India is in everyone's interest and not just in the interest of Indians.”
“There is a way to eradicate poverty and develop sustainably that will lower significantly the carbon footprint of the energy that is produced and consumed to fuel that growth.”
Her comments come as global leaders try to agree a course of action to combat climate change and to break a deadlock over the Doha round of trade talks at the World Trade Organisation. New Delhi has sided with Beijing to oppose binding caps on its carbon emissions. They argue that developed nations should take responsibility for global warming. India has also clashed with the US over the terms of the global trade deal. The Indian government welcomed the US's partnership but refused to agree to emissions caps.
