NEW DELHI (AP) – The latest news related to the U.N. climate conference in Paris, which runs through Dec. 11. All times local:

India’s environment minister is urging industrialized nations to take strong action and make sacrifices to fight climate change, as Paris climate talks enter a second, crucial week.

Prakash Javadekar said in a statement Sunday night that “India is here to ensure that rich countries pay back their debt for overdraft that they have drawn on the carbon space.”

In a statement released in New Delhi, Javadekar warned that while negotiators were midway through the two-week climate talks, “substance-wise we are not midway but sometimes at crossroads.”
