Modi said no one had contributed less to global warming than India and Africa, warning that “the excess of (the) few cannot become the burden of many”.

He was speaking as world leaders prepare to meet in Paris in December to try to reach an agreement on tackling climate change, with the goal of capping warming at two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-Industrial Revolution levels.

“We are each making enormous efforts with our modest resources to combat climate change,” said the Indian premier in a wide-ranging speech to delegates from all 54 African Union nations in New Delhi.
