The International Solar Alliance (ISA), launched jointly by India and France at COP21 in Paris in 2015, has its headquarters in Gurugram, India. With 123 Member and Signatory Countries, the ISA focuses on promoting solar energy as a clean and affordable source of power worldwide. Its initiatives emphasise supporting Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, where energy access challenges are most acute. By facilitating cooperation with global institutions, ISA works toward large-scale deployment of solar solutions, enabling sustainable development, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing significantly to global climate action efforts.
