India has contributed the US $1 million to United Nations (UN) Headquarters’ Solar Project, under which solar panels will be installed on the roof of world body’s headquarters at New York, United States.
This contribution makes India first responder to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ call for climate action. The contribution will help reduce carbon footprint and promote sustainable energy.
Earlier, in June 2018, during a session on World Environment Day (observed on 5 June), India had intended to partner with UN Secretariat to use renewable solar energy at UN premises. It had expressed hope that by next World Environment Day, solar energy will be part of the energy mix used in UN Headquartered building.
India is the first responder to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ call for climate action.
