India today said it will play a proactive role to deal with climate change and strengthen the national action plan to tackle global warming.

Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, who discussed a gamut of climate change issues with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also said that he "welcomed" the French announcement of one billion Euros credit line over next three years to India to take initiates in climate control.

France will host the World Climate Conference next year. "We emphasised that India will play a proactive role because climate change is real and we have decided on our national action plan. We will strengthen it further. But we expect the developed world to walk the talk," Javadekar told PTI.
