'Not to sign legally binding emission agreement'

New Delhi, Dec 3: India is not going to accept any legally binding emission reduction agreement at the Copenhagen climate summit, Minister of State for Environment and Forest Jairam Ramesh told the Lok Sabha Thursday. The minister was replying to a lively four-hour debate on the climate change and the position India will take at the Dec 8- 18 international summit. "India will never accept a legally binding emission reduction agreement," Ramesh said. "There are some attempts by some countries that developing countries should announce when their emissions will peak. We will not sign a peaking year agreement. This is not acceptable. There is no question on compromising on these two non-negotiables but depends on the concessions we get from the international community."
