Hillary Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, has emphasized India's potential to lead the global south in tackling climate change. She believes that India can be the 'innovator' and 'implementer' of creative solutions, addressing the issue at a local and individual level. Clinton's statement comes during the Mumbai Climate Week, where she highlighted the urgency of focusing on solutions in the most affected regions, particularly in the global south. She also mentioned the need for partnerships between various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, and philanthropies, to take action against climate change. Clinton's speech underscores the importance of moving power and innovation from the global north to the south, despite political challenges. She also discussed the Clinton Global Initiative's interventions in health and climate change, particularly its efforts to support women salt workers in India affected by extreme heat. Clinton's message is clear: it's time for everyone to 'quit the talk, talk, talk' and 'start to act, act, act' on climate change.
