Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described the landmark climate change deal reached in Paris as the victory of "climate justice" and said there are no winners or losers in the outcome.
He appreciated how every country rose to the challenge for reaching the agreement at the Conference of Parties (COP)-21 and said deliberations showed collective wisdom of the world leaders to mitigate climate change.
"Outcome of #ParisAgreement has no winners or losers. Climate justice has won & we are all working towards a greener future," Modi tweeted, commenting on the legally-binding pact which seeks to limit global warming to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius and making developed nations commit USD 100 billion a year from 2020 to help developing countries.

Just before the 31-page document was finalised, French President Francois Hollande, who hosted the conference, called up Modi to apprise him of the latest status at the talks.
"The Prime Minister appreciated this gesture of French President," a PMO statement said.
Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said that India was happy that the agreement has "unequivocally" acknowledged the imperative of climate justice, which reflects common sentiment and has based itself on the principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities.
"The agreement also acknowledges the importance of sustainable lifestyles and sustainable consumption patterns. We are also happy that the agreement differentiates between the actions of developed and developing countries across its elements," Javadekar said.
