In February 2026, TERI successfully delivered a six-day residential Capacity Building and Training Programme for officials and frontline staff of the Mangrove Cell, Palghar Forest Department, demonstrating TERI's end-to-end capability from programme design to field implementation. The training aimed to assist professionals from the Mangrove Foundation in mastering mangrove ecosystem carbon inventory methods to assess the contribution of these ecosystems to atmospheric carbon sequestration.
The Green School project 2.0 is a pioneering collaboration between the Tata Steel Foundation (TSF) and TERI. This initiative aims to foster critical thinking, interdisciplinary learnings, and a profound understanding of environment conservation values amongst the students studying in schools operating in Tata Steel operational areas.
Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, with cities emerging as magnets for growth, jobs, and opportunity. India, now the most populous nation, is witnessing a surge in urban population and infrastructure demands. As urban areas expand, emissions from sectors like transport are rising rapidly, threatening local air quality and public health. In response, India has launched national initiatives like the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) and committed to net-zero emissions by 2070.
The development of a detailed CAZ (clean air zone) plan would focus on measures related to traffic and transportation (such as pedestrianization, cycle tracks, and EV mobility), urban planning (land use plans, heritage conservation), emission control, air quality monitoring and dust control. Through this plan, the program seeks to prioritize solutions based on emission reduction to enhance air quality in the study area. This approach aligns with sectoral sustainability goals by addressing environmental, social, and economic aspects of urban air quality improvement.
TERI Knowledge Resource Centre (TERI KRC), is committed to fostering sustainable development and empowering individuals through innovative skill development and entrepreneurship programs. Over the years, we have conducted several residential skill development and online entrepreneurship development training programs, focusing on solar energy and waste management.
