TERI to Open Center in Himachal

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) will open its center in Himachal Pradesh to help the state adopt measures on climate change, Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said.

"The state would be providing land and other assistance for setting up TERI's regional centre, which will provide technical guidance in climate change and environment protection," Dhumal said at the foundation stone laying ceremony of a centre of climate change.

The function had Nobel laureate and environmentalist R.K. Pachauri in attendance.

Pachauri favoured setting up of a "global union" of mountain states to check emission of greenhouse gases and preserve climate.
