• High - Level India - Europe Conference Potsdam, 27-29 May 2008
  The High Level India –Europe Conference in Potsdam from 27th – 29th May 2008 on climate change and sustainable development brought together 71 distinguished Indians and Europeans. It is hoped that this event paves the way for a new north-south initiative that provides leadership to a long-term carbon contraction strategy based on the principles of equity. The conference was an important milestone as it ended with important resolutions. There was agreement to set up a joint Indo-European Working Party which will address the challenge of climate change and development. It was also decided that the seminar conclusions would be communicated to the Foreign Ministers of all EU Member states together with suggestions for immediate action to be put on agenda of the forthcoming EU-India Summit in Paris in September 2008.
