I'm not a climate change-denier, but something like this seems to, first and foremost, be something that is a the responsibility of each individual government. If it is a failed state that literally doesn't have the resources to deal with it, then UN can consider intervening, but no more "any excuse to ask for a handout" politics that many countries seem to be practicing.

Not each government, but all of them at once need to agree and adhere to the same rules. Otherwise environmental taxes just make businesses migrate to countries, which couldn't give less of a damn about the future, putting the ones that do at an economic disadvantage.

How can you expect India to be able to adhere to the same kind of restrictions as the us and Europe?

You can't,but you can make it a part of a deal i.e. "Ban mazut use and we'll invest in your infrastructure." or something like that.
