Some encouraging words coming from India's environment minister Jairam Ramesh: Speaking ahead of the last climate negotiations before COP16 next month, Ramesh acknowledged that India was now the world's third-largest carbon emitter, and told Reuters that "We will unilaterally, voluntarily, move on a low-carbon growth path. We can't have 8-9% GDP growth and high-carbon growth. It has to be low-carbon growth...that is the objective that we have set for ourselves."
