Going to a curtain collection event of the Annual of the Global Business Summit of ET NOW Global of the Times here last Friday, Stiell said that those counties that take the initiative have the opportunity to massively benefit from a new order and India already He directs firmly in this direction by not only growing economically while decreases energy intensity, but also creating the international solar alliance and establishing impressive objectives for Clean energy growth. “Now you have the opportunity to go further,” he said.
As the head of the UN climate organism stressed the success story of India of the increase in energy access with each village of the country that is electrified long earlier than expected, at the same time emphasized the need to “take the next step and unleashed even higher benefits “for the 1.4 billion people and the economy of India, and suggested having a strong climate plan, specific contribution at the national level (NDC), for the country.
He also suggested that countries around the world, unlike the past when the NDCS focused almost exclusively on cuts in greenhouse gase emissions and fossil fuels, should now focus on the enormous growth potential, such as growth of wind and solar energy, the growth of life. , growth in jobs. “India is already firmly directed in this direction, but an even stronger hug from Global clean energy boom It will supercar the economic increase in India, “Stiell said.
At the moment when countries run to take the greatest economic and commercial benefits of the Clean Energy Board, the UN climate organism head while referring to the United States said: “When a nation went back, others will surely give a step forward “.

In addition to the impressive action of India towards the increase in the footprints of renewable energyStiell also stressed the other climatic actions in the country. “The key between them is the leadership of Prime Minister Modi to prioritize life (lifestyle for the environment): unleash the power of institutions, communities and individuals to protect the environment and promote a circular economy.”
The UN climate body head in his direction focused mainly on opportunities instead of emphasizing the terrible costs that the climatic crisis is already imposing and said that the global clean energy revolution is not being stopped.
