India will make the world discuss lifestyle issues at CoP in

India today hoped that the world will reach a "equitable and just" deal in the forthcoming Paris climate change summit and expressed confidence that it will make the world discuss lifestyle issues.
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's image has become "positive" and added that India is also raising various issues including "climate justice" on behalf of poorer nations.
"Twenty years ago, Al Gore presented an inconvenient truth of climate change. Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Gujarat Chief Minister with expermentation and hand-holding has presented to the world the convenient action.

"India is leading from the front in climate dialouge. Earlier image of India was negetive, it has now become positive. We are sure that we will make the world discuss lifestyle issues.
"We will have equitable, fair and just climate deal in Paris. We are raising the voice for climate justice for all poor countries," Javadekar said adding that with India's huge renewable programme, it has made a very important equation in the world.
Modi himself has talked about "climate justice" and sustainable lifestyle by developed countries to help combat the threat of climate change.
Asked about cooperation from the United Kingdom especially in the wake of Modi's visit on November 12, Javadekar said that on climate change, the UK "has done many good things especially in technology sector and we are expecting greater technological cooperation."

Modi will undertake a two-nation tour of the UK and Turkey from November 12 during which issues related to economy, security and energy are expected to dominate the discussions.
