India-US climate partnership holds promise for clean energy transition and global collaboration: Experts

New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) As India takes a leading role in the global South, its climate partnership with the United States will bring climate action to the forefront and it can also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for both countries and the world at large, experts said on Friday.

Emphasising the importance of technology transfer, investments and collaboration in critical sectors, such as renewable energy and electric vehicles, they said the bilateral collaboration is an opportunity for both countries to address the global challenge of climate change while reaping economic benefits.

India is the only G20 country that has fulfilled all the promises it made in Paris on climate change, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday at a joint news conference with US President Joe Biden in the East Room of the White House, asserting that India will not only fulfil its responsibilities but will also help others, including the US, in this critical area.
