The
European Union has launched new strategic partnerships to cooperate more
closely with major economies to implement the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate
Change and on environmentally friendly practices more broadly, the European
Commission said on November 29, adding that these include a programme
co-financed by the EU’s Partnership Instrument (worth €20 million) and
co-financed by the German International Climate Initiative with €5 million) to
advance bilateral cooperation on climate change and contribute to improved
public awareness.
In
addition, and following the 14th EU – India Summit which reinforced the
strategic importance of India as a key partner of the European Union in the
fields of climate action, environment, climate change and urbanisation, the EU
is also launching a programme entitled “Business Support to the EU-India Policy
Dialogues”, worth €3.8 million, to develop the EU – India partnership further
by promoting sustainable energy, urbanisation and environmentally friendly
practices, with technical solutions from EU businesses, the Commission said,
adding that this will also contribute to an increased and diversified presence
of EU companies in the Indian market.
