A-Z of Sustainability
April 2, 2018
| Climate Change
| Energy
| Forest & Biodiversity
| Resource Efficiency & Governance
| Environment
"A-Z of Sustainability" is our endeavour to provide a repository of words and phrases - comprising a range of environmental, social and economic topics - that could be useful and contemporary and useful for sustainability professionals. For accurate and transparent accounting of sustainability plans and performance and to enhance stakeholder confidence; businesses have chosen sustainability reporting as an established communication tool. Terms like sustainability strategy, management commitment, materiality, neutrality etc. are commonly being used within the sustainability domain.
To assist the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD) with its Energy Efficiency Campaign (2018-2019)
March 1, 2018
| Climate Change
| Energy Efficiency
The main objectives of this project are to: (1) Work on secondary-loop mobile air conditioner (SL-MAC) work in India especially through effective outreach about the environmental benefits and fuel savings to government and non-government organizations with the intent to speed commercialization; (2) Continue working with EESL et al. on making available affordable in India super-efficient room AC with lower-GWP refrigerants will be successful. This work includes coordination and support for a procurement of subsequent tenders of room ACs;

Enabling Cities to Implement Innovative Sustainable Urban Solutions
December 27, 2017
| Sustainable Habitat
| Climate Change
India is on the cusp of urbanisation with around 34% of the country’s population currently living in cities and a rate of urbanisation higher than most South Asian countries. By 2030, it is expected that 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas, contributing to more than two-thirds of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). High rates of urbanisation, industrialisation, and economic development are exerting significant pressure on civic services and infrastructure across cities in India.

Climate policy assessment and Mitigation Modelling to Integrate national and global Transition pathways (COMMIT)
December 22, 2017
| Environment
The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit it even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In order to develop these strategies, scientific input on emission reduction potentials is needed not only at the country level but also at the global level to put national emissions pathways into the context of the global climate goal.
Analyzing implications of land-use-change coupled with climate change on surface runoff using a hydrological model: Case study of Goa
November 6, 2017
| Climate Change
The overall objective for the proposed work is to assess the impact of the land-use-change and projected climatic changes on the near surface hydrology across a watershed in Goa. The specific objectives of the proposed work are to: 1. Develop a modelling protocol that couples future climate data for different scenarios with a hydrologic model simulating stream flow; 2. Apply the modelling protocol to the study area on the watershed scale. Calibrate and validate the model for the proposed study area;
