Working with India to tackle climate change

The EU’s climate change goals are closely linked to plans for catalyzing economic growth through new, green initiatives. Investing in the green technologies that cut emissions will also create jobs and boost the economy. Renewable energy, energy efficiency including eco-efficient industries and products, water management, re-use of resources and recycling of waste and low carbon growth paths are now an intrinsic part of economic planning. This document provides information about many tangible results that have been achieved based on the EU’s commitment to work pro-actively both at EU and with India. The overall objective is to support India’s efforts towards sustainable growth and to build mutual understanding on global environmental issues, including climate change. The brochure also gives information about some case studies of actions, which the European Commission and the Member States of the European Union are supporting in India.
