India will not sign any legally binding global agreement for emissions reduction, as the country needs to eradicate poverty through economic growth, Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan said on Tuesday.
“There is no question of signing a legally binding agreement at this point of our development. We need to make sure that our development does not suffer,” Ms. Natarajan said in Rajya Sabha.
