'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.

The discussion looked beyond technology’s promissory hype, focusing on how AI can enhance grid management and energy optimisation, while also addressing deeper issues like governance, political economy, and data integrity. 

On July 18th and 19th, Transitions Research, along with New Indian Consumer Initiative (an INDIC initiative) and Climate Bonds, under the aegis of Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Consortium, hosted an in-person event in Goa on Catalysing AI for Climate Action and Finance.

Our dialogue, “Can AI Help Battle Climate Change in Indian Cities?” examined the intersection of AI, climate change and urban development in Indian cities.

On Saturday, June 8th, Transitions Research, along with the Goa Energy Development Authority (GEDA), conducted a visioning workshop for Panjim’s net-zero future. The purpose of this workshop was to co-create a shared vision for Net Zero Panjim in 2050 that reflects the views of its residents and key stakeholders. Through a series of interactive sessions and activities, participants engaged in creative exercises, discussions, and collaborative activities to explore different aspects of Panjim’s...

In this dialogue, we hope to delve into the question of adapting to rising temperatures - exploring the role of policy and heat adaptation plans in addressing the uneven impacts of heat in urban communities, as well as the role of cooling technologies, which demand massive energy consumption and compromise our ability to achieve mitigation goals.

Transitions Research's PULL Net Zero team, along with Tallulah D'Silva's Travelling Dome, organised a series of Imagination Walks in Panaji, Goa, to better understand the visions locals have for the future of their city. Through this photo essay, we communicate our insights and the benefits of walks as a social science research methodology.

This episode of Talking about Transitions, explored the future of nature in growing cities and their role in reducing impacts of climate change as well as protecting the needs and aspirations of the vulnerable communities.

People’s Urban Living Lab (PULL) and Travelling Dome are hosting a series of Imagination Walks to envision what Panaji’s future looks like. Will we achieve our net zero pledge by 2050? What will our built environment look like? Where will our waste go? What will the role of nature be? Join us for a series of walks from March 15 to 17, 2024 to help us co-create shared visions for the future of our city.

In this iteration of Talking about Transitions, we examined the role that digital and other emerging technologies, like AI, play in shaping the Anthropocene and our responses to it. What is the digital Anthropocene, why has it become significant, and what are the key trends? We also addressed the question of how digitalisation is shaping climate action, and what are the steps that need to be taken to ensure the responsible utilisation of these technologies.
