Observing that India is a major player on a global stage, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry on April 7 said that decisive action from the country now will determine what this transformation will mean for all generations to come.
He also said that advancing gender equality and the promotion of women’s leadership is not only critical for economic growth and sustainable development, but also essential in tacking climate crisis.
“India is a major player on a global stage,” Mr. Kerry said in his remarks about the India-U.S. relations and collaboration in climate change and sustainability at the South Asia Women in Energy (SAWIE) — a joint initiative of the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) hosted their first Leadership Summit in a virtual format .
“Decisive action from India now, in partnership with the rest of the world will determine what this transformation will mean for all generations to come,” he said.
The U.S. India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), in partnership with USAID, launched SAWIE in September 2019, a platform built for leaders in the energy, manufacturing and the industrial sectors, to come together and deliberate the importance of gender diversity in decision- making and leadership roles and inspire change.
