Minister Wermelin highlights Indo-Danish Water Tech Alliance
India and Denmark have begun a new era in the form of a far reaching “Green Strategic Partnership” that will give the country a special place in delivering sustainable solutions to India, Lea Wermelin, Denmark’s Minister of Environment, said at the 16th Sustainability Summit of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on 2 Sept 2021.
Highlighting the September 2020 agreement between India and Denmark, Wermelin expressed that the high-level visits and discussions between the two nations are showing opportunities for mutual collaborations and benefits in the area of green growth and finance.
Wermelin quoted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “Denmark has the skills, India has the scale.”
She also highlighted the Indo-Danish Water Tech Alliance which is to enhance drinking water supply to all households in a sustainable manner, especially catering to SDG 6.
A competitive and sustainable industry must now assume a lead role in India’s future development as well as play a key role in the emerging shape of the global economy, added CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee.
He pointed out that the Indian Industry has shown its mettle in adapting and reconfiguring in a severe crisis situation – namely the COVID-19 waves and pandemic.
The Sustainability Summit is CII’s annual flagship event. Launched in 2006 to raise the bar of dialogue, practice and performance of sustainable business. The 16th Sustainability Summit – Building a Resilient Future: Leveraging Science, Technology and Finance – is designed to build discussions on the importance of green finance, science and technological innovations that will step up actions for a green and inclusive recovery. #water #investment #technology #projects /fiinews.com
