Economic development has been leading to environmental degradation across the world. The threat of climate change and its consequences has resulted in governments looking for climate friendly development paradigms. The adoption of a resolution by Governments from developed and developing countries in the 23rd annual “conference of the parties” (COP) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bonn was to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”, which would halt global warming.
We partner with Universities, NGOs and other institutions to undertake cutting-edge research in the specific context of economic development of India, management of wastes and hazardous materials, promoting knowledge that supports climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience.
