Estimate the potential carbon benefit earn by shifting households to improved cookstoves

| Climate Change
Indoor air pollution is a critical issue in rural areas. The use of biomass in the traditional household cookstove of the rural areas is also an important source of atmospheric black carbon. Conventional cooking methods have also been reported as important source of ambient air pollution in different cities. Promoting cleaner fuels like LPG to remote rural areas has different issues. In West Bengal, many rural households still depend on cooking in traditional cookstoves using locally available biomass materials.

| Climate Change
The project is an ARR-based agroforestry carbon finance initiative implemented across six districts of Gujarat to enhance tree cover, improve farm productivity, and support rural livelihoods. Given the state’s relatively low forest cover, the project promotes the integration of commercially viable tree species into existing agricultural and barren lands. Led by Shri Hari Bhujal Vikas Mandal (SHBVM), the initiative supports farmers through quality planting material and technical assistance, while enabling additional income through carbon credit generation.

Development of future climate projections for Indian Sundarbans and the Arkavathy river basin
March 7, 2022
| Climate Change
The objective of the proposed study is to understand and assess the present and future climate variability over Indian Sundarbans and the Arkavathy River Basin, with a focus on past and future temperature extremes in a changing climate. This necessitates the use of climate modelling to analyse expected changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea levels in the study area. The extent of effort in this regard is outlined below. Scope of work 1. Baseline assessment over Indian Sundarbans and the Arkavathy River Basin;

The objective of this study is to carry out comprehensive study of water bodies. This will include proper storm water evacuation up to creek area and to suggest possible diversion of rivers and other streams of the region including other infrastructural changes.
Climate Finance Study for India
August 10, 2021
| Climate Change
The objective of the project is to support the Climate Change Finance Unit, Economic Division, DEA under the Ministry of Finance for its climate finance discourse at international representations. It is realized that the current definition of climate finance is not conducive to supporting India with its climate goals and the international climate finance is coming much shorter than required.
