NAIROBI, June 27:
Terming as “stark” the wide gap in per capita incomes of developed and developing nations, India has asked the West to pledge “additional and predictable” funding to developing nations for eradication of poverty.
Speaking at the first UN Environment Assembly, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar also said that the developed countries need to “urgently” fulfill their commitment of providing a certain percentage of gross national income (GNI) as official development assistance (ODA) for developing countries.(PTI)
