India will not sign any legally binding global agreement for emissions reduction, as the country needs to eradicate poverty through economic growth, Indian Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan said on Tuesday. The Press Trust of India quoted Natarajan as saying at the Upper House of Indian Parliament that "We need to make sure that our development does not suffer," she said, while responding to her attending of the United Nations Climate Change Conference at Durban early this month. "Our emissions are bound to grow as we have to ensure our social and economic development and fulfil the imperative of poverty eradication," said the minister.
