Explanation
The Alma Ata declaration on "Health for All" in 1978 sets out a broad set of principles called the Primary Health Care (PHC) approach. It focused on multi-dimensional, intersectoral healthcare, which was to be made available "closest to home". It required technology to be simple and low cost, while being effective and safe.
In 2016, the then Women and Child Development Minister, Maneka Gandhi, had said that India will not ratify the the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction in the interest of women fleeing bad marriage and had set up the panel headed by Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Rajesh Bindal for detailed report and the panel in its 2018 report has not recommended signing the treaty.
The Talanoa Dialogue of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, beginning January 2018, will facilitate the parties to take stock of progress post-Paris.
The Under2 Coalition, a Memorandum of Understanding by subnational governments to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions towards net-zero by 2050, is generating a unique precedent for bold climate leadership, with its member states and regions surpassing 200 in number.
