India has strongly demanded the rich club of nations to provide additional financial resources to developing countries for addressing the concerns of climate change. Talking to reporters in New Delhi on Thursday, Environment and Forest Minister Jayanti Natrajan said that access to resources for these countries is essential. Mrs Natrajan was briefing reporters after her return from the Ministerial Consultations on Climate Change in South Africa. She said, the developing nations must strive to bring on board all those countries who are still not agreeing to the Kyoto protocol. She said that greater political will by developed countries is important to address this issue of concern. Mrs Natrajan cautioned that before a decision on a new legally binding framework is taken, the existing frameworks should not crumble. Reiterating India's commitment to reduce its carbon footprints, Mrs Natrajan said, during the upcoming Climate Conference to be held in Durban, India will raise issues relating to finance, technology transfer and adaptation. The Minister said they will also press for introduction of Intellectual Property Rights for Equity, Trade and Technology to address these issues. AIR Correspondent reports that the 10 day long Climate Conference to be held later this year is expected to be attended by environmental experts, policy makers and heads of the states and government from across the world. There has not been any substantial progress in the talks after a political declaration was adopted at Copenhegan in December 2009.
