Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded the historic climate accord in Paris, saying that "climate justice has won".
"Outcome of Paris agreement has no winners or losers. Climate justice has won & we are all working towards a greener future," Modi tweeted.
The deliberations at the climate summit and the agreement reached "demonstrates the collective wisdom" of world leaders to mitigate climate change, he added.
The climate agreement, which was adopted by 195 nations in Paris Saturday, aims at limiting the rise in global temperatures to less than two degrees Celsius.
The pact is the first to commit all countries to cut carbon emissions, but it is partly legally binding and partly voluntary.
The prime minister had attended the summit for the initial two days, during which India-mooted International Solar Alliance was launched. Endit
