USA justified the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement
India was one of the two countries, highlighted by the President of the United States Donald trump, justifying its decision to terminate U.S. participation in the Paris agreement on climate change.
"The point is that the Paris agreement is very unfair at the highest level for the USA... India will be allowed to double coal production by 2020. Think about it. India could double coal production," said trump on Thursday. But India does not want to accept obligations to prevent climate change.
Prime Minister Narendra modi said that it would be "morally criminal act". New Delhi has not yet commented on the decision of trump. The growing anger in India about air pollution and the economic benefits of cheaper renewable energy sources has made modi's government is a strong supporter of the agreement, said Ravi Agrawal CNN.
The vast majority of the government of India still terrified from highly polluting coal-fired power plants, which is slightly more than two thirds of its total power, but India is committed to achieving 40% renewable energy by 2030. In 2016, the report submitted by India to the UN, stated that 71% of carbon emissions come from the energy sector, and agriculture 18%. However, experts say that modi is not blind to the risks associated with the US withdrawal from global agreements on climate change.
