New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) Ahead of the Copenhagen summit next month, the US today said India should take a leadership role on the issue of climate change and indicated it wanted the country to cut carbon emissions.

These issues, Otero said, would be part of discussions between US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when they meet in Washington later this month.

"The answer is yes. India's emission is 4 per cent and we hope in the future there is some level of reduction.
