India, US Talk Climate, but Little Progress Seen. By Krittivas Mukherjee, Reuters, July 23, 2009. "Talks between India and the United States this week, seen as an opportunity to narrow differences on climate change, made little headway on carbon emission cuts, but saw some movement on technology innovation. Indian officials and experts with knowledge of the talks told Reuters there was little progress on issues such as emission cuts, transfer of green technology and finance, but the two sides could agree on cooperating on technology innovation. U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern held a series of meetings with Indian officials as part of the bilateral Global Climate Change Dialogue announced during Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to New Delhi this week. Officially, India says the bilateral talks are to intensify collaboration on fighting climate change. Two top Indian negotiators said the dialogue this week was 'not positive.'"
