Development writer and international negotiations watcher Biraj Swain discusses the recently concluded climate change conference at Paris with Mukul Sanwal, India’s first chief COP negotiator, Darryl D’ Monte, veteran environmental journalist, Aditi Kapoor of Alternative Futures, Raman Mehta of Climate Action Network South Asia. They discuss the outcomes of the conference, the stand-off between United States-European Union and rest of the world, the role India and China played. They also discuss India’s pitch and participation and how does India’s global championing of equity square up with its gross in-country inequity. They conclude with some crystal ball gazing on the road ahead beyond Paris.
