India's per capita greenhouse emissions lag far behind rich countries and it feels the developed world should take the lead on tackling climate change.

India plans to fight poverty, boosting economic growth and reject greenhouse gas emission targets.

Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh says "India cannot and will not take emission reduction targets because poverty eradication and social and economic development are first and over-riding priorities."

India has made it clear to the international communities its stance ahead of the negotiation of a climate treaty in Copenhagen in December that will replace the expiring Kyoto pact.

According to the Indian minsiter, India would not accept a provision in a U.S. Congress bill which would impose trade penalties on countries who fail to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
