In India, Kerry pushes for Modi to set net-zero goals

There was “progress” in nudging India toward announcing a timetable in the coming weeks for reaching net-zero carbon emissions, Kerry said in New Delhi, where he is meeting with senior Indian officials in preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to Washington on Sept. 24. Several weeks after that, in late October, world leaders are scheduled to gather in Glasgow, Scotland, for a conference known as COP26 that is considered pivotal for the fate of the planet.
