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.
This report reflects aligned values and consensus around what a net zero future looks like for Panaji.
This blog illustrates some of the key barriers and opportunities of a low carbon transition in India and developing countries.
Given the imminent and gargantuan nature of the challenge, this article draws from expert analyses to propose certain solutions that can be applied to urban cities, especially in the Global South.
This blog explores the causes of food waste in India; its grave implications for hunger, socioeconomic equity, and climate change; and what steps households can take to minimise food waste.
Our dialogue, “Can AI Help Battle Climate Change in Indian Cities?” examined the intersection of AI, climate change and urban development in Indian cities.
Despite near universal access to electricity, gendered inequities in electricity usage hinder India’s progress on sustainable development goals. As energy policy focuses on renewable energy, socio-cultural shifts must also be prioritised to improve women’s agency over electricity use.
For more effective low carbon mobility transitions, there is a need to consider the interlinkages between EV policies and urban mobility plans, policies governing energy transitions and carbon emitting sectors, consumer uptake, and lifecycle carbon emissions for EVs.
Our recent Talking About Transitions Dialogue, Building a Net Zero Society, unpacked the importance of social transformations to achieve a low carbon transitions in Indian cities. How can we leverage behaviour change, equitable urban planning and innovative planning approaches to create an equitable net zero future?
