WASHINGTON: The United States Special President’s envoy for John Kerry’s climate will travel to India from September 12-14 “to discuss efforts to increase global climate ambitions and accelerate the transition of Indian clean energy,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday.
On his visit, Kerry would meet with his colleagues in the Indian government and private sector leaders, the department said in a statement.
Kerry laid the foundation for US participation at the 26th Unified Climate Change Conference, or COP26, which will be held at Glasgow from 31 October – 12 November.
He traveled last week to Japan and China for officials.
In April, Kerry spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about how the United States could help mobilize finance to reduce risk in producing alternative energy in the war against global warming.
India is the third largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world after China and the United States, although with far lower emissions per capita than those countries.
