New York Times : As the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change prepares to meet in Paris in December, India has announced its plan to lower its emissions and increase its production of solar, water, and wind power. India is the third largest carbon polluter in the world and the last of the world’s major economies to submit a climate-change plan. Despite having become one of the fastest-growing economies over the past couple of decades, India is still battling wide-scale poverty and relies heavily on cheap, coal-fired electricity to spur economic growth. Nevertheless, Prime Minister Narendra Modi says his people recognize that climate change is a priority and a global responsibility.
