NEW DELHI: The former United States Vice-President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore on Friday called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The two leaders are reported to have discussed climate change and sustainable development.

Mr. Gore, a climate change crusader, will announce a major initiative — The Climate Project-India — on Saturday to be implemented in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). Also present at the launch will be TERI Director-General R.K. Pachauri.

India will unveil a national plan of action in June to deal with the threat of global warming.

India has, however, made it clear that it will not set any target for emission reduction that could possibly slow down economic growth.
