Gail India Ltd has partnered with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a leading energy and sustainability think tank, to develop a document, which outlines the Indian corporate vision on various aspects of tackling climate change and aligning the vision with government schemes in this direction.
 
The draft of the document, titled 'Delhi to Paris: Corporate Vision on Climate Change', was presented at a seminar organised by TERI-CBS (Council for Business Sustainability). The final document will be launched at India Pavilion of Conference of Parties (COP) 21 to be held in Paris later this month.
 
For the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations, the COP 21 Climate Summit conference will aim to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate to keep global warming below 2°C.
 
Environment minister Prakash Javadekar hailed the convergence of all corporates and called the abridged version of the vision document the 'Corporate environment responsibility document'.
