Govt to hold online discussion on climate change

The government will hold an online panel discussion seeking views from people and experts on climate change and various proposals which India has recently submitted to cut green house gases ahead of crucial UN climate change conference in Paris later this year.
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar will hold a 45 minute discussion "MyGov Talk" on October 26 which will be conducted in collaboration with Google.
The discussion will seek views on how the country should go ahead with sustainable lifestyle, cleaner economic development, reduction of emission intensity, enhancing forests and adaptation which has been laid down in India's climate action plan or INDCs.

"Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar will hold a 'MyGov Talk' on October 26. The talk will focus on climate change in the run-up to the Conference of Parties (CoP21) in Paris from November 30 to December 11 this year," an official statement said.
Contributors from MyGov, climate change experts, senior journalists and social media influencers will join the online panel discussion with the Minister.
With India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) or voluntary emission cuts, the country is keen to attempt to work towards a low carbon emission pathway while simultaneously endeavouring to meet all developmental challenges that it faces today, the statement said.
