Union Minister for Environment and Forests Bhupender Yadav on Sunday called for taking steps to bring global warming under control.
Speaking at the International Day for Biological Diversity celebrations here, he said, “Any effort to conserve and enhance biodiversity can only succeed if we tackle the challenge of global warming.”
Cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases have to stay within the limits of the Global Carbon Budget. At the same time, developing countries need fair and equitable access to their due share of this budget to meet the challenge of poverty eradication and sustainable development, he added.
