New Delhi, April 13: Almost a month after India’s key negotiator on climate change Shyam Saran quit the post, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh today said he will be heading the country’s climate talks teams at international fora.
“I will be India’s chief negotiator for talks related to climate change. There is no big deal in it,” Ramesh told reporters here when asked if Saran’s replacement was on the cards.
Justifying his move, he said that it is always the minister who represents his ministry at an international forum and hence “it is no big deal if I head my team at the negotiating forums on climate change.
