World is running out of space and time and it is high time to raise ambition and take actual action to reduce carbon emission said Sunita Narain, the director general of the Centre for Science and Environment. The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) and The Forum of Environmental Journalists in India (FEJI) held a brainstorming sessions on climate change in New Delhi recently to understand low carbon development in India. Narain addressing one of the sessions said that there must be an effort to create framework for all to reduce carbon emission.
