New Delhi: John Kerry, a special envoy of the US for climate change, on Tuesday said he did not have a serious “net-zero” conversation with Indian leadership.
Kerry has been here for the past few days to support support from the Indian government to declare more “ambitious” climate change goals in run-up to COP 26 to be held at Glasgow in November.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, Keri said, “We did not spend a lot of time for ‘zero zero’ …
we talked about it, and no one suggested that it was not a fair discussion …
but the key is, what you are right – The focus is ‘now’, between 2020-2030.
“He announced the appointment of the former Diplomat Robert Blake as a person about climate change negotiations with India.
Blake is a former deputy head of the mission at the US Embassy in New Delhi, before continuing to become a US ambassador to Indonesia, and work in the South Asian portfolio at the US State Department.
India has refused to sway into a declaration posture at zero zero.
Conversely, the purpose of creating 450 gW renewable energy today is the core of Indian climate goals.
“Modeling shows that if when it is reached, that India is on track to stay at 1.5,” Kerery said, referring to the goal of limiting global warming in 1.5 ° C compared to the pre-industrial level.
However, Kerry keeps persuasion.
“I suggest that everyone must describe plans for whatever their energy sector, to map how you reach 2050 and have an energy sector that can be zero clean.
That’s the challenge.
So the discussion I have here is …
How we do this Together? “He said six major banks – Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and State Street Bank – have announced they will invest in green projects.
“It’s a very important commitment because we need to know that people hang back, that they will not be reluctant to try to find a project that we need to rely on.” While Kerry only has limited success in India – he is enthusiastic about the Indian plan on hydrogen green, he even has even less successful in China that links the success of climate change to greater relationships to greater relationships.
