Hyderabad: To address issues related to climate change which is impacting the environment, the Centre for Study of Foreign Languages at University of Hyderabad (UoH) in association with the French Embassy held talks on “Climate negotiations and the Paris Conference: What is at stake? What are the perspectives?” These background talks are being held ahead of the United Nations climate change conference, also known as Conference of the parties (COP) which is to be held in Paris at the end of the year.
Delivering the key note address Jean-Mare Sere Charlet, Minister Counsellor at the French Embassy in New Delhi said that France is trying to reach out to all the 195 member countries to find out a common solution. “Finding a global solution is a big challenge. India is a big player in this global negotiation”, he said adding that there will be an open ear for India’s position during the negotiations.
As per the available reports average global temperature is increasing and this creates large scale environmental impacts including polar ice melts and sea level increase. There is a need for long term additional measures to curb the rise in global temperature. “We all share the same planet and we have to take care of it. Otherwise we will all suffer” said Mr. Charlet pointing out that global warming will affect the poor more than any other sections of the society.
He said that there are issues related to Intellectual property rights (IPR) when it comes to transfer of technologies from developed countries to developing countries to reduce pollution. Governments are unable to do much in this regard because these are private technologies. He said that India is well placed in technology front compared to many other countries.
