Abstract
This chapter first examines Indo-Japanese relations to place the relationship in a wider context and then moves on to examine how Tokyo views New Delhi in relation to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It introduces the ‘China prism’ and ‘nuclear lens’, two frameworks that significantly influence Tokyo’s perception of New Delhi. As a whole, the chapter argues that with regard to Japanese policymaking on climate change, India is viewed both in relation to and in comparison with China. India was Tokyo’s preferred partner in climate change until 1998, when, following India’s nuclear tests, there was a dramatic shift in Tokyo’s perception of India. It was then replaced by China, as the ‘better partner’ for Tokyo in climate change.
