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;

| Climate Change
| Waste
This Assignment will involve following two components: (i) Designing of a new Market Based Mechanism (MBM) with the following key steps: (a) Baseline assessments and setting the scope; (b) Determining and setting mitigation targets along with time-frame; (c) Ensuring market stability through design features like a price collar; (d) Setting up an oversight and compliance mechanism to enforce the target; (e) Stakeholder discussions and buy-in; and (ii) Providing policy recommendations and roadmap for implementation of the select MBM.
Strengthening Non-state Climate Action in the Global South
July 1, 2017
| Climate Change
| Environment
This project aims to fill two crucial gaps in the world's response to climate change by generating an evidence base to expand the participation and leadership of climate action by cities, companies, civil society groups, and other sub/non-state actors in the Global South, as well as the effectiveness of such action.
India Energy Efficiency Scale Up Program - TCAF – Program Information Note
April 24, 2017
| Climate Change
For this assignment, the scope of work is to create a Program Information Note (PIN) for Energy Efficiency Services Limited¿s (EESL) various initiatives under the Transformative Carbon Asset Facility (TCAF). This project will design carbon monitoring methodologies, primarily for EESL¿s various initiatives - including providing efficient ceiling fans and air-conditioners, efficient household lighting and street lighting - with an aim of enabling market-based carbon pricing and sectoral mitigation measures.
