India and the US have successfully combated climate change and transition to sustainable energy, resulting in the creation of green jobs and promoting a sustainable planet.

Jorgan K. Andrews, Deputy Chief of Mission, the US Embassy, highlighted the growing cooperation between India and the US in addressing climate change. He was speaking at the 21st Indo-US Economic Summit in New Delhi, recently. This initiative is expected to generate well-paying green jobs, he said.

“If we do not address these climate issues collectively, it will have a significant impact on our prosperity as a society. By working together, we can lower emissions, support India’s growth in a way that limits the world’s climate challenges, and create the well-paying green jobs that we all want to see,” he said.

He also highlighted the recent discussions at the QUAD Summit between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries. Another important venue to strengthen economic cooperation was highlighted by Andrews: the forthcoming India-US Commercial Dialogue and CEOs Forum in Washington, which will be co-chaired by US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal.
