In what can be termed as a major achievement for India's global efforts at mitigation of climate change, the US is likely to join the International Solar Alliance (ISA), conceptualized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Launched jointly by India and France in 2015, the ISA is an alliance of 124 countries, most of them being sunshine countries, either completely or partly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
