London, Jan 04: British Premier Gordon Brown has said that an international agreement to reduce carbon emission would be one of his key priorities in 2009 for which India and China will have to be taken on board.
Barack Obama’s election as the US President would also help in achieving the aim, Brown said.
However, he said that getting India and China on board was critical to reach an international agreement on carbon emissions.
Brown is also studying 10 specific projects on alternative energy sources. He denied that the recession would see green issues shelved, adding: “Rather than pushing the environment into a lower order of priority, the environment is part of the solution.”
Brown’s promised use of public money not only to create short-term jobs, but also to build a low-carbon economy for the future, will be seen as a modern reworking of Roosevelt’s New Deal - a massive programme of public works, such as dams and roads, to help America recover from the Great Depression.
