Govt Says It Doesn’t Rely on External Rankings on Climate, Pollution

NEW DELHI: Different global organisations, including environmental think tanks, may be ranking India on different green parameters, but the country prefers its own assessment for policy formulation instead of banking on "external" findings on pollution, sustainability and disaster resilience. The Environment Ministry made the country's stand on such global ranking clear through written responses to two different questions in RS on Thursday. 

Responding to a question on the recent Global Climate Risk Index that ranked India ninth among countries most affected by extreme weather events, the ministry said, "Govt, however, does not recognise any external ranking as a basis for domestic policy formulation."
