German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel visits India from 16 – 19 November
Sigmar Gabriel, German Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, is going to visit India from 16 – 19 November. The Minister is accompanied by a 60 member delegation including Members of the German Parliament (Bundestag), representatives of German companies and representatives of German non-governmental organizations.
Minister Gabriel will hold political talks in the framework of the Indo-German strategic partnership and aimed at deepening the Indo-German dialogue on environmental and energy issues. The German Minister is scheduled to meet Shri Shyam Saran, Special Envoy of the Prime Minister of India on Climate Change, and other members of the Indian Government with responsibility for topics such as energy, the environment and water. In addition, the Minister will exchange views with representatives of Indian non-governmental organizations and visit a reforestation project in New Delhi supported by the German Society for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) under the Clean Development Mechanism.
The focus of the visit is the first Indo-German Environment Forum, inaugurated by Minister Gabriel and Shri Sevugan Regupathy, Minister of State, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India on 18 November. This two-day conference will discuss and present environmental technologies in the areas of water and waste management, sewage treatment and sanitation. It will also discuss the topics of energy efficiency, renewable energy and Clean Development Mechanism and create a forum for meetings of numerous representatives of Indian and German companies.
Germany is a world leader in environmental technology and renewable energy. In 2007 energy from renewable sources covered 14.2 percent of Germany's gross power consumption. German companies, many of them world leaders in their fields, are developing renewable resources at high speed. Waldpolenz Solarpark, for example, scheduled to produce electricity on an area equivalent to about 200 football fields will be the world´s largest solar power system by early 2009.
German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel: "Germany is well positioned to assist in the modernization of resource intensive economies like India. Environmental technology Made in Germany has a good reputation, because Germany has largely succeeded in decoupling economic growth from the consumption of natural resources."
