India is constantly collaborating with international communities to achieve its targets.

The webinar shows India's efforts to achieve its sustainable development target by 2030 through citizen-centric measures and focuses on enhancing the pace of India's clean energy deployment through international collaborations. It discussed India's multilateral efforts required for this transition via global policies, co-development of technologies, investments and pooled finances for demonstrations to promote deployment.

Andre Aranha Corrêa do Lago, Ambassador of Brazil and Freddy Svane, Ambassador of Denmark, strongly support India's initiative of clean energy and climate change target and discussed ways to strengthen ways for bilateral cooperation with India focusing on renewable energy targets.
