This piece highlights the importance of centering health as the motivator for low-carbon lifestyles.
This article sheds light on the hurdles in the adoption of rooftop solar slowing down progress—such as financing constraints, regulatory complexities, and consumer hesitations—and highlights transformative solutions.
To meet its target of 500 GW of Renewable Energy by 2030, India needs to significantly ramp up installations to 65-70 GW each year. Over 80 per cent of this target is expected to come from solar power. Despite significant progress, the penetration of solar energy, particularly rooftop solar (RTS), remains limited due to financial, …

What role does energy efficiency in urban households play in India’s net zero drive? In this blog, we analyse policies and behavioural barriers to suggest ways forward.
Cities like Mumbai and Chennai need to stop overlooking their mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes. Collectively known as blue carbon ecosystems, these spaces are vital in safeguarding urban coastal areas from climate change.
In this article, PULL identifies causes for this lag from our own research. We look at possible future pathways in which rooftop solar will be more widely adopted by India’s urban commercial sector, and how this will shape our cities.
‘Transitioning Urban Transport for Low Carbon Mobility’ was held on October 4th, 2024, where we delved into the multiple approaches to transitioning to low carbon mobility.
