Union Environment, Forests and Climate Change Minister Prakash Javadekar said that he would make a statement on India's role in Paris Agreement in the parliament on Wednesday.

"We are satisfied with the agreement that has been signed in Paris. I will be making a statement regarding this tomorrow," Javadekar told IANS on the sidelines of 'Climate+Change Indian Himalayan Region: Our Mountains, Our Future' initiative launched here on Tuesday.
