LeadIT, the Leadership Group for Industry Transition, was launched by India along with which country?
- A.Norway
- B.Sweden
- C.Denmark
- D.Finland
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Sweden. India and Sweden set up the group in 2019 at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York, with backing from the World Economic Forum, to help heavy industry cut its carbon emissions. The two countries also run an Industry Transition Partnership whose project partners took part in the New Delhi meeting, and the next phase of the group will be launched jointly by the Indian environment ministry and the Swedish Ministry of Climate and Enterprise. Options A, C and D name the other Nordic countries, which makes each of them an easy wrong pick for a candidate who remembers only that a Scandinavian partner is involved. Fix the pairing firmly as India and Sweden, and attach to it the launch year 2019, the venue of the climate summit in New York, the membership of 19 countries and 33 companies, and the 13 Indian firms within that list.
