New Delhi: Environment minister Prakash Javadekar on Thursday reiterated India’s stand on common but differentiated responsibility and the onus on developed countries to take more steps to counter climate change. He was speaking at the ministerial plenary of the first United Nations environment assembly in Nairobi. “The wide difference between the average per capita consumption of energy and other resources in the developed and developing countries as also the huge wastage of food at consumer level in developed countries makes it imperative for developed countries to take lead to shift towards SCP (sustainable production and consumption) patterns,” he said. Javadekar added that the developed countries must therefore provide enhanced financial resources, technology transfer and capacity-building support to developing countries to meet the vast requirements of sustainable development.
