New Delhi, July 17 Noting that India has prepared an action plan and set up eight missions to fight climate change, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the country is willing to do more if there are “credible arrangements” to provide more financial support and technology from developed nations.

Making a statement in Parliament, he said the problem of climate change cannot be addressed by “perpetuating the poverty” of developing countries.

“As a responsible member of the international community, I conveyed to the G-8 and G-5 countries that we recognise our obligation to preserve and protect our environment,” Singh said while apprising both Houses of Parliament about his participation at the Summit meeting of the two groupings in L’Aquila in Italy last week.

He said he had presented at these Summits India’s action plan on climate change and the eight national missions set up in this regard.
