’International Climate Summit 2021’ (ICS 2021), an initiative by the Environment Committee, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be organised on September 3, 2021. The summit will be held in partnership with NITI Aayog, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, CSIR and the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.
The summit will be India-centric, and action-oriented with a special focus on ’Powering India’s Hydrogen Ecosystem’. The summit sessions will focus on cooperative efforts that will help establish solutions for storing and transporting pressurised and liquefied hydrogen, to build a hydrogen economy and supply chain in India.
The summit’s agenda complements the initiatives through recommendations on the formation of an ’International Hydrogen Alliance’ similar to ’International Solar Alliance’, and the setting up of ’Centres of Excellence’ in select universities across India. Key initiatives will assist in capacity building through a strong knowledge base and R&D.
Co-organised in association with ITEN Media – India’s leading organiser of energy events, the summit is supported by Ministries of New and Renewable Energy, Petroleum & Natural Gas, Power, Coal, Earth Sciences and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise. The Government of Norway has kindly consented to be the Partner Country for the Summit.
As a precursor to the 26th Conference of Parties (COP) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) scheduled in November 2021 at Glasgow, ICS 2021 is a step forward in the mission and aims to meet climate challenges through a consolidated approach and timely interventions.
Together with India’s Prime Minister and other world leaders, the summit will bring together nobel laureates, policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, experts and scientists to arrive at a consensus in matters about climate change and sustainability.
