The pre-launch report on the first collaborative India-China study on climate change to be released in Beijing on Monday will generate interest among policy makers and climate watchers, as reported by Hindustan Times.
The title “Low Carbon Development in China and India — Issues and Strategies” is the result of a first-time collaboration between key research institutes in China and India working on issues related to climate change.
“The study examines the main factors in low carbon development – financing, low carbon technologies and on-the-ground implementation – and will encourage greater cooperation between the world’s two largest countries,” said an UNDP official.
China and India are both trying to fight global warming; the low carbon study illustrates some of these efforts and at the same time illustrates some of the current challenges facing both countries, the official added.
The study will help both China and India to share experiences, promote knowledge exchange. At the recently concluded annual session of the National People’s Congress, Premier Li Keqiang, talked about launching a war on pollution in China where coal accounts for a massive share of energy generation.
