US has said it would push for an ambitious climate change agreement at the upcoming Paris summit in Paris. Washington said, United States will be pushing for an agreement that reflects the ambitious climate targets from all of the countries who are participating. US will also seek an agreement that puts in place a long-term framework that incentivises countries to ratchet down their emissions over time, in a transparent manner with high standards of accountability and with the goal of achieving a low- carbon transformation by the end of the century.
The US will also strive for an agreement that mobilises on-going financial and technical support for low-carbon development and climate adaptation, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable countries. US said that India has taken important steps in addressing the challenges of climate change and hopes that the country would contribute more to this global effort.
