India will cut emissions for more money, tech

New Delhi

INDIA, the world's third biggest polluter, is considering a sharper cut in emissions if rich nations cough up money and technology.

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said that he may present the world with a choice ahead of a December global climate meeting: one set of commitments that India can fund itself to reign in emissions, and a second more ambitious set if it gets money pledged by developed economies.
