Feedback Following 'Basic Countries' Meeting in India
This Engineering News article reports that "The environmental Ministers of the so-called Basic group of countries, comprising Brazil, South Africa, India and China, have reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring an agreed outcome at the global climate change conference scheduled for Mexico toward the end of 2010." "The members of the Basic group have already announced a series of voluntary mitigation actions by 2020, and expressed their intention to communicate these voluntary mitigation actions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by January 31. This was the deadline for countries to submit this information so that it could be incorporated into the Copenhagen Accord."
