The sunshine countries comprise all major countries between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn. Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi launched the initiative to form a group of 107 sunshine countries at the India Africa Summit and held a meeting among them before the conclave of 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris on November 30. He has coined a term for them as “suryaputra,” or “sons of the sun”. The alliance is also called International Agency for Solar Policy and Application (IASPA). India already has ambitious targets of achieving renewable energy that it will generate more than 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022 and decrease emissions by 33 to 35 percent by 2030. India will endorse clean energy, sustainable environment, public transport and climate adaptive agriculture through this initiative.〔 India has also launched a tool named IESS 2047(India Energy Security Scenarios 2047 calculator) which aims to explore the potential of future energy scenarios for India. ==Objective== The focus is on solar power utilization. The launching of such an alliance in Paris also sends a strong signal to the global communities about the sincerity of the developing nations towards their concern about climate change and to switch to a low-carbon growth path. India has pledged a target of installing 100 GW (giga watt) by 2022 and reduction in emission intensity by 33-35% by 2030 to let solar energy reach to the most unconnected villages and communities and also towards creating a clean planet. India’s pledge to the Paris summit offered to bring 40% of its electricity requirements from renewables by 2030. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunshine countries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
