Poirson, who is on a three-day India visit from Wednesday, will co-president the ISA event along with Raj Kumar Singh, Union Minister of State for Power, and New and Renewable Energy.
The International Solar Alliance brings together 80 nations and offers concrete solutions that help reduce the cost of solar installations, particularly in developing countries.
During her visit, Poirson will also interact with members of India's civil society committed reducing plastic pollution. On Wednesday, in Mumbai, she will join United Nations awardee, lawyer and citizen activist, Afroz Shah, for plogging. She will also meet Saurabh Gupta, founder of Earth5R NGO in Powai in Mumbai.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
