Clinton assures India on climate change plan

INDIA and the United States can jointly devise a breakthrough plan for fighting climate change that will generate massive new investments and millions of jobs, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton said yesterday.

She also assured India that while the US wants it to do more to fight climate change, Washington will never impose conditions that would limit India’s economic growth.

Clinton, who arrived in India late on Friday, said that devising a comprehensive and strategic approach for achieving a clean energy future is an important topic of her three-day trip.
