The Global Biofuels Alliance (GBA), launched in September 2023 by key G20 members including India, the United States, and Brazil, is poised to take a significant step forward in its institutional development. The Indian government is preparing to sign a headquarters agreement with the alliance, marking a crucial milestone in the organization’s evolution and India’s role in global sustainable energy initiatives.
This elevated status will enable the GBA to function more efficiently at the international level, mirroring the recognition given to other global initiatives like the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) and the International Solar Alliance (ISA).
This high-level endorsement underscores the significance of the GBA in India’s international energy and climate strategy.
This agreement will enable the government to grant the GBA and its secretariat in India exemptions, immunities, and privileges, as outlined under Section-3 of the United Nations (Privileges & Immunities) Act, 1947.
