NDTV World Summit: Erik Solheim Lauds Gujarat's Contribution To Renewable Energy
"The state of Gujarat alone has contributed to renewable energy so much that if it were a nation, it would be the 8th largest in terms of green energy," said Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Climate and the Environment of Norway, at the NDTV World Summit.

China accounts for 60% of all green energy today and the rest of the world is the other 40%. India is second only to China, he added.

Talking about India's progress, he added, "If ten years ago someone asked me where one needs to go to see climate progress, I would have said a Brussels or Geneva, but today I would say go see what a Beijing, Delhi or Jakarta are doing."
