The number of people exposed to extreme water shortage is projected to double, globally, by mid century due to population growth alone and climate change could increase the risk warns this major multi-country climate change risk assessment released today
With the Indian Railways being a significant consumer of resources, especially energy, identifying cost-effective options and realising an energy system with minimal environmental impacts is essential.
India is following the Hydrochlorofluorocarbon Phaseout Management Plan (HPMP) as part of its international commitment under the Montreal Protocol to mitigate consumption of ozone depleting substances. This transition is almost complete in developed countries.
Decentralised energy technologies have a vital role in extending electricity to around 80 million households lacking access to grid electricity and meet cooking energy needs of 49 % of the population which is still dependent on biomass fuels for cooking (Census 2011).
India has emphasised inclusion of adaptation as a part of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC). For understanding adaptation requirements, we need to understand and value climate change impacts first. This preliminary assessment tries to estimate the cost of global climate change impacts for India.

This paper explores the energy efficiency and power sector benefits of air conditioning companies in India to “leapfrog” and phase down unsustainable technologies based on chemicals with high lower-global warming potential (GWP) and move to a future based on climate-friendly and energy-efficient refrigerants.
CEEW's latest study 'Clean, Affordable and Sustainable Cooking Energy for India: Possibilities and Realities beyond LPG' analyses potential alternate cooking options, going beyond LPG.
The Indian solar sector has the potential to generate around 1 million jobs if India achieves its targeted 100 GW of grid-connected solar power capacity by 2022 says thi
This document outlines one component of India’s INDC submission to the UNFCCC focussing on the renewable energy contribution to its future electricity mix. So far, the
Government of India has articulated solar targets for renewable energy, which therefore deserves careful analysis.
