Global Warming International Conventions And Indian Response

Abstract

Global warming is increasing day by day. At the time of pre-industrial era (1850 to 1900), newlinetemperature of earth was 13.70 C. Temperature of earth always increases in natural process. But newlinespeed of that is very slow and due to efforts it can be avoided. Anthropogenic impact on newlineenvironment has caused disturbance in environment and has increased speed of global warming. newlineEffect of this is that in the first decade of 21st Century temperature of earth was 14.50 C. It has newlinebeen projected that in the end of 21st Century, temperature of earth would be 17.50 C to 19.50 C. newlineEmission of greenhouse gases is increasing leaps and bounds. Contribution of developing newlinecountries in emission of GHGs can t be ignored. When Kyoto Protocol was concluded, there was newlineno legal obligation for developing countries. China and India were free. But at present time newlineChina and India are first and third emitter of GHGs respectively. newline
