No question of taking any binding carbon emission cuts: Saran

India says, there is no question of taking any binding carbon emission cuts. Prime Minister's special envoy on climate change, Mr. Shyam Saran said major emerging economies including Beijing and New Delhi are likely to adopt a similar approach at the forthcoming climate change summit in Copenhagen. Mr. Saran told a private TV Channel that they (industrialised nations) don't expect countries like India, actually to sign on to emission reduction target. Saran's views have come a day after India and China along with other developing nations forged a common front to put a pressure on the developed nations at the UN summit that begins from December 7. Mr. Saran dismissed notions that there was any pressure on India to taken on legal emission cuts at the forthcoming meet and instead referred to various voluntarily steps taken by it whether it was in terms of renewable energy or improvement in energy efficiency.
