Collaboration on climate change is central to the relationship between India and the European Union (EU). Since 2016, the EU and India have together pursued a Clean Energy and Climate Partnership (CECP), which focuses on developing cooperation in clean energy and the implementation of the Paris Agreement, including in the area of energy efficiency, renewable energy, smart grids, storage, sustainable finance, and climate mitigation and adaptation. The European Commission in 2018 in its note to the European Parliament and the European Council on partnership with India indicated that a crucial element of the EU’s India strategy was “an enhanced EU-India partnership on sustainable modernisation” featuring in particular cooperation on climate change, the environment, green energy, and urbanisation, which would “help the EU and India to meet internal objectives as well as international commitments”.
