Prabir Purkayastha, of Delhi Science Forum and Dr. T. Jayaraman, professor at TISS, discussed the upcoming Climate Change Conference-2015 in Paris at the end of November. They said, though developed countries are the large polluters, they haven't taken any appropriate emission reduction actions even after committing to it repeatedly. As a result, the main victims are the third world countries. The impact has already been seen in the African and Asian countries. Jayaraman said, the pledges by the developed countries are very minuscule compare to the emission by the least and developing countries. The rich countries are driving the decision in the negotiations and if the equity is determined in a decontextualised manner, the life of the people in India and other third world countries would be the most affected. If the cut-down efforts are proceeding in this manner, it may not be able to achieve the target of arresting the increase in temperature to two degrees by 2030.
