WASHINGTON: For a peek at the latest climate friendly technologies from the world over, including the U.S., visit the Indian capital next week. International representatives will gather in New Delhi November 10-13 for the Climate Technology Bazaar and workshops on how to anticipate or adjust to climate change. Harlan Watson, the U.S. State Department's senior climate negotiator, will lead the U.S. delegation to the bazaar. Held in association with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), it will showcase "state-of-the-art" climate-friendly technologies from developed and developing countries. About 120 international and national exhibitors, and over 5,000 visitors are expected to participate in the four-day exhibition. During the same period, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will hold two workshops on adaptation. Adaptation refers to any adjustment that can respond to anticipated or actual consequences associated with climate change. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary David Garman will be the keynote speaker at the American presentation on U.S.-India initiatives in clean energy technology. Other U.S. agencies participating include the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department of Energy and the Foreign Commercial Service of the Department of Commerce. Two U.S. firms, General Electric Wind Energy and UOP, will demonstrate technologies at the Climate Technology Bazaar.
