Read the below passage and answer the following questions
Climate change and its imperatives across the globe have moved beyond the immediate compulsions of rising mercury levels on planet Earth. It is today a debate among nations on geo - politics and the shift in economic balance from the developed countries to the emerging economies. The rhetoric by global leaders thus needs to be taken with a pinch of salt for it is not all about climate change concerns. The changing axis of economic power to the East and emerging countries of Asia will perhaps take a while to sink in. Developing economies like India are just beginning to take baby steps on the global stage and industry and entrepreneurship will have to go a long way. Milions of households in India still have to depend on firewood and kerosene to light up their homes even as scores of Indians die every year for want of basic health amenities The priority for such a nation is meeting basic needs, providing food, health and education rather than spending large portions of its GDP on importing technologies to cut emissions. India needs to do its bit, but on its own terms and at its own pace.
