US official John Kerry, the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, said that India has a tremendous investment potential when it comes to clean energy transition. While admiring Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his commitment to addressing the challenge posed by climate change, Kerry said that he intends to work “very, very closely with” with Indian leadership in this regard.
“We believe India can be one of the most critical transitional countries in this entire endeavour. I am confident that just as we have worked very closely on any number of issues in these last years, our two nations — the world’s two biggest democracies — have a great deal to gain from joining hands in our global leadership and confronting the climate crisis to meet this moment,” Kerry said.
Kerry praised Prime Minister Modi’s announcement of a target of 450 gigawatts of renewables by 2030. He also asserted that India is a key partner of the US under the Biden Administration.
