President Obama and India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have agreed that the two nations will work together to accelerate development and deployment of clean energy technologies and strengthen cooperation on adaptation to climate change, climate, science, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from forests and land use.
The agreements mark the beginning of the Indo-U.S. Clean Energy Research and Deployment Initiative which will include a Joint Research Center operating in both the United States and India to foster innovation and joint efforts to accelerate deployment of clean energy technologies. The Initiative will facilitate joint research, scientific exchanges, and sharing of proven innovation and deployment policies.
The two nations also launched a new Agriculture Dialogue and agreed on a Memorandum of Understanding on Agricultural Cooperation and Food Security that will set a pathway to robust cooperation between the governments in crop forecasting, management and market information. Also, they will work on expanded access to knowledge to improve productivity, safety, and nutritional quality of food crops; to strengthen market institutions and foster growth of agribusiness investment and improve food security and access to adequate quantities and quality of food, particularly for women and young children.
