@Developed countries: You were the first
nations to industrialize. Youre the one that
cause this global warming. So, youre obliged
to cut emission. Our emissions are different
from yours, for ours are produced in the
process of industrialization while you are
already in the post-industrialization era. In
short youre the main villain.
@Developing countries: weve responsibility
to combat climate change. but we want no
legally binding obligation to cut our emission.
The developed nations (you) must not
prescribe/preach us about climate change.
Well set our commitment voluntarily.
LMDG wants new climate change agreement to
be on above theme.
Obviously developed (rich) countries are
against this LMDG group. Rich nations argue
China and India are growing so fast that by
2020 your LMDG gangs greenhouse gas
emission will be lot higher than us! You cant
keep holding us responsible forever!
Loss and damage
One of the contentious issues in the
COP19/Warsaw talks.
Extreme events because of climate change=
typhoons, floods, drought etc.
Loss
Permanent. e.g. loss include loss of life,
culture, livelihood, ecosystems, or territory.

Damage
Repairable. e.g. deforestation and
temperature rise.
In short- the Poor countries want ca$h from
rich countries because rich countries caused
climate change and poor countries suffering
extreme weather/disasters because of them.
Demand grew because thousands died in
Philippines by Typhoon Haiyan just as the COP-
19 started.
But Developed countries donot want to admit any
legal liability after all, China and India are also
rich (GDP wise), and emitting more greenhouse
gas than many of the developed countries.
REDD+
REDD+: Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Degradation PLUS.
Under REDD+: ca$h comes from developed
countries =>green climate fund=>developing
countries=>national agencies.
It is a result based understanding/framework.
Meaning, Developing country will have to prove
the result they have fought deforestation
without harming local communities or
biological diversity. Only then, theyll get the
ca$h.

2005, finally @Warsaw talks 2013, the

Poor countries wanted some cash in the
meantime (2013-19): but this demand was
rejected in Warsaw talk.
anyways, enough of the issues, lets check Indias
stand:
Indias stand @COP-19 Warsaw
We want CBDR
As usual, India called for CBDR: Common but
Differentiated Responsibility.
We accept that UNFCCC Convention and the
Kyoto Protocol are also applicable to all.
but this Universality does not mean uniformity.
Were against any legally binding
commitments.
Developing countries should be provided the
flexibility to choose their actions.
Rich nations should not to treat global
warming issues with a business perspective of
providing markets to their MNCs.
Were not irresponsible
India reiterated @Warsaw that were not as
irresponsible / evasive as rich nations portray us.
Consider some of the steps weve taken to combat
climate change:
Weve already made National Action
Plan on Climate Change.

NAPCC
Under this NAPCC, we have launched
eight missions in areas of energy
efficiency, solar energy, sustainable
habitat, water, forestry, sustaining
the Himalayan ecosystem,
agriculture and strategic knowledge
for climate change.
Our states have also formed their
plans and missions.
SOLAR
We have set a target of generating
20,000 MW of solar power by2020Already
achieved about 1200 mw presently.
ENERGY
EFFICIENCY
We have also introduced an
innovative trading
mechanism(Namely PAT Perform,
Achieve and Trade)for energy
efficiency.
(more given in one of my economic
survey articles)
COAL CESS
A National Clean energy Fund (NCEF)
ca$h comes from cess on coal of (Rs.
50 per tonne)
this ca$h is used for financing
renewable energy and environment
friendly projects.
1. Weve made voluntary commitment that well
reduce emissions intensity of our GDP by 20 to
25% by 2020 (compared with 2005 level.)

2. We have also committed that our per capita
emissions will not exceed those of the
developed countries in future also.
3. Were large country with a very small carbon
footprint. our per capita emission is only 1.7
tonnes per annum, despite our heavy
dependence oil import, were committed to
follow the path of sustainable development.
India s stand on Agriculture vs cl imate
change
India is against any mitigation mechanism to
reduce emission from agriculture.
for example, if UNFCC gangmember comes up
with some idea that all nations should stop
paying urea subsidies or cheap electricity to
their farmers or stop paying grants to slaughter
houses etc=>
then India will oppose such mitigation
mechanism for agriculture
Because Majority of Indian junta depends on
agriculture- poverty, food security angles (and
ofcourse vote bank)
So, Instead of mitigation, India advocates
adaptation mechanisms to reduce emission
from agriculture e.g. organic farming,
watershed, sustainable development etc. but
that too without any legally binding
commitments or targets.
Same stand by China and some African
countries.

http://mrunal.org/2013/11/cop-19unfcc-warsaw-climate-change-conference-indias-stand-outcomes-limitation.html 10/24
India s stand on Ca$h 4 climate
change
India maintained that:
1. Simply creating the institutional arrangements
like Green Climate Fund does not help because
they dont have much ca$h.
2. COP-19 conference needs to comeup with a
clear roadmap on provision of finance for
2013-15, 2015-2017 and then up to 2020.
3. Public finance should be the primary source of
fund for climate finance. (US wants majority of
ca$h should come from private companies,
MNCs etc.)
India s stand on HFC
Montreal Protocol (1987)= to phase out ozone
depleting substances chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) , hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) etc.
They were used as refrigerants, aerosol
propellants, solvents, AC in building and
vehicles, and fire retardants.
everyone including India banned those ozone
depleting substances.
but then refrigeration/AC industries shifted to
using Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) because
HFCs are cheap
HFCs are technically not an ozone depleting
substance. Hence not covered under
Montreal protocol
However theyre still potent greenhouse gases,
6/21/2014 [COP-19/UNFCC] Warsaw Climate Change Conference, India's Stand, Outcomes, Limitation - Mrunal
http://mrunal.org/2013/11/cop-19unfcc-warsaw-climate-change-conference-indias-stand-outcomes-limitation.html 11/24
with a warming effect much higher than carbon
dioxide.
USA India
wants HFC
matter to be
covered
under
Montreal
protocol
that way
everyone,
including
India-China
will have to
ban HFCs.
wants HFC matter be kept under
UNFCCC+Kyoto- then itll be
mandatory only for the
developed (rich) countries to
phase out HFC gases.
And India/China wont have
legally binding
responsibility=>their local
industry will be saved.
India reiterated this HFC stand during COP-19
Warsaw talks.
India s stand on Technology transfer
UNFCC wants developed countries to give
(secret james bond) technology to developing
countries so they can combat climate change.
But America is now reluctant. Instead of giving
technology- USA wants to just promote
investment in third world.
In that respect, Indian wanted that Green
Climate fund (GCF) should give special funding
to transfer IPR protected technology from rich
to developing countries.

http://mrunal.org/2013/11/cop-19unfcc-warsaw-climate-change-conference-indias-stand-outcomes-limitation.html 12/24
Because without ca$h and technology transfer,
developing countries cannot carry out
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions
NAMAs.
India s stand on Misc. issues
we support the demand of poor countries for
Loss and damage
Were dismayed to see some rich countries
(Japan, Canada and Australia) have rolled back
from their earlier commitments about reducing
Greenhouse gas emission.
Warsaw outcomes:
List not exhaustive
2015 Deal
In December 2015, well hold a
summit in Paris to outline what to
do after 2020 (i.e. when Kyoto
mechanism expires)
but before this Paris summit,
all countries must announce their
plans before end of 1st quarter of
2015
about how theyll curb greenhouse
gas (GHG) emission beyond 2020
such national plans will be called
intended nationally determined
contributions. (Observe it doesnt
contain the word commitment-
because India-China opposed that

term)
Loss And
Damage
agreement called the Warsaw
international mechanism for loss
and damage (IMLD).
As per this agreement, disaster
victims in developing country will
receive aid from the developed
countries. BUT it will not be linked
with any liability /commitment.
will also provide expertise and aid,
to help developing nations cope
with extreme events related to
climate change.
2016: well review the exact form of
this mechanism.
Cash
Merely urged developed nations to set
increasing levels of aid to poor
countries. but didnt set any targets for
2013-19.
CDM
@countries that donot have legally
binding emission targets.well
encourage them to use carbon credits
under CLEAN DEVELOPMENT
MECHANISM (CDM)In 2014, well hold a
special technical meeting to iron out
the details.
deforestationadopted REDD+ to combat
deforestation.

http://mrunal.org/2013/11/cop-19unfcc-warsaw-climate-change-conference-indias-stand-outcomes-limitation.html 14/24
Limitations/Criticism of Warsaw
Talks/COP-19
1. They contemplated over the post-2020 scenario
but did not outline any near term actions
(2013-19) to combat climate change.
2. No mechanism on how $100 billion will come
in 2020
3. No special funding to poor countries for 2013-
19 period.
4. Its all a useless exercise as long as the worlds
prominent emitters India and China receive
special treatment. Both act as a firewall
between rich and poor countries, refuse any
legally binding commitments.
5. More than 800 NGOs staged a walkout from
the Warsaw talks because developed countries
are making no firm commitments to combat
climate change, and the corporate
interests/lobbying are taking over the
environmental interest.
6. Japans Gaddari to UNFCC:
Earlier Japan had promised well cut our
emission by 25% (from 1990 levels)
But during this summit, Japan announced,
not possible!, well infact increase our
emission by ~3% compared to 1990 level
Similarly, Canada and Australia also scaled
down their targets.
7. S.Africas Gaddari to BASIC:
Earlier S.Africa followed BASIC stand = We
dont want legally binding commitments to
6/21/2014 [COP-19/UNFCC] Warsaw Climate Change Conference, India's Stand, Outcomes, Limitation - Mrunal
http://mrunal.org/2013/11/cop-19unfcc-warsaw-climate-change-conference-indias-stand-outcomes-limitation.html 15/24
reduce Greenhouse gas emission
But recently S.Africa wrote an official letter
to UNFCC that new climate change treaty
should impose legally binding
commitments.
8. Russias anger
that UNFCCs conferences are failing to be
impartial- Not taking decisions based on
consensus.
Instead a few vocal members tend to
overshadow the proceedings.
9. Indias dissatisfaction that
Rich nations are treating global warming
issues with a business perspective of
providing markets to domestic companies.
How rich nations including Japan,
Canada and Australia to scale down
ambition and lowering of targets of
emissions.
How Green Climate fund is useless without
any coffers.
10. Mere Lip service to issues related to black
carbon, agricultural methane, energy efficient
buildings-equipment etc.
