The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), in collaboration with ReNew, organized a specialized roundtable discussion titled "U.S.-India Climate Partnership and Emerging Opportunities" as part of Climate Week 2023 in New York City.
The event aimed to explore and discuss opportunities for climate collaboration and partnership between the United States and India. It was held in partnership with the Consulate General of India in New York.
During the event, a report titled 'India’s Global Leadership on Climate Action' was unveiled by Randhir Jaiswal, the Indian Consul General in New York, Dr Mukesh Aghi, president and CEO of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), and Sumant Sinha, founder, chairman, and CEO of ReNew. Prominent government officials, industry leaders, and representatives from academia were present on the occasion.
The group emphasized its focus on facilitating nations and communities in achieving their 2030 emission reduction targets. The discussions aligned with the concrete announcements made jointly by President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Indian Prime Minister's historic state visit in June 2023.
Speaking on the launch of the report, Sumant Sinha said, “Effective climate action will need all hands on deck. As our planet witnesses the tangible, often dire, repercussions of climate change, the unyielding alliance between India and the US offers a glimmer of hope.”
“India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made remarkable strides in emerging areas of impact such as green hydrogen and carbon markets. The United States’ relentless pursuit of innovation-driven solutions, be it in pioneering renewable energy technologies or groundbreaking carbon capture research, underscores its deep-rooted commitment to the global climate cause,” he added.
Reaffirming the strength of the US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (SCEP), Randhir Jaiswal, India’s Consul General in New York commented, “The robust bilateral sustainability agenda would have a seminal impact on the progress of 2030 climate goals.” Further elaborating on India’s global initiative on sustainability, he said, “In the four global frameworks led by India, that is – International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, Mission LiFE and Global Biofuels Alliance, the United States has been a strong and steady partner.”
