August 1, 2020
| Environment
| Energy

TERI will work with the IEA on an analytical report on the opportunities for clean energy transition policy synergies in India. Building upon the ‘IEA Energy sector air pollution and climate synergies in India Draft Issues Paper’ scoping report from April 2020, TERI shall bring expertise and provide comments to the IEA to refine technical analysis of specific clean energy transition policy integration synergies.

Inputs for NDMA's organisational strategy and roadmap

August 1, 2020
| Environment

The project aims to undertake an organizational review of the NDMA which was established through the NDMA Act, 2005. TERI will review the existing structure of the NDMA covering its roles and responsibilities, functions and organizational architecture and identify areas for enhancement towards meeting the mandate outlined under the Act. During the course of the study, stakeholder consultations, secondary literature review and assessment will be carried out and they will form the core approach and methodology of the study.

Prevention of Marine Litter in the Lakshadweep Sea (ProMiSe)

July 1, 2020
| Waste

There is a pressing need to curb marine pollution in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India sharing access to the pristine ecosystems of the Lakshadweep Sea. The overall objective of the ProMiSe project is to contribute to the prevention and leakage of wastes from land-based sources into the Lakshadweep Sea in line with sustainable consumption and production approach, thus enhancing the attractiveness of tourism industries, avoiding further deterioration of marine ecosystems and improving living conditions in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India.

Extension of the Indo-German Competence Centre for Riverbank Filtration

July 1, 2020
| Environment

The overarching aim is to strengthen the cooperation in education and research between Germany and India in sustainable water resources management over a 3-year period from July 2020 to June 2023. The focus is on natural treatment techniques of riverbank filtration (RBF), managed aquifer recharge, and constructed wetlands. This is to be achieved through an extension of the activities and partners (German and Indian) of the existing ‘Riverbank Filtration Network (RBFN)’ partnership that exists since 2008.
