At the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, India set an ambitious target of attaining net-zero emissions by 2070 and a 45% reduction in the emissions intensity of its GDP below the 2005 levels by 2030. The transport sector holds responsible for 14 percent of energy-related CO2 emissions, and it also accounts for 70 percent of total diesel consumption and 100 percent of gasoline consumption.[1]
India is undergoing rapid urbanization, with its urban population expected to surpass its rural population by 2031. This process has been accompanied by a gamut of social, economic, and environmental changes, including increased greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for greater vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. One of the main challenges Indian cities are facing as they grapple with adversities is the need to adapt to extreme weather events. These events can have significant impacts on public health, economic productivity, and infrastructure.
TERI is undertaking a baseline study for the Indian non-urban road freight transport. As part of the study, TERI aims to identify major carriers, develop a methodology for data collection and validation, and establish key requirements for implementing an efficiency improvement program in the future.
The main objectives of this project are:
To understand the current status and readiness of cities towards EV ecosystem planning;
To explore the institutional, operational and financial capacities of cities for EV planning and deployment.
The purpose of the project is to work on a scoping project to design UK-India Electric Mobility Accelerator Awareness Campaign which can support delivery of India's ambition on adoption of electric mobility, thereby contributing to cleaner air in cities, achieving energy security and creating new jobs both in India and in the UK.
TERI is serving as a Secretariat body for the National Transport Decarbonization Council (NTDC) and will be responsible for bringing diverse stakeholders together and steer activities required to adopt an integrated approach towards decarbonizing the transport sector in India
The Federal Republic of Germany and the Government of India have, under the Indo-German Technical Cooperation, agreed to jointly promote the ‘Indo-German Energy Programme’ (IGEN) with the aim to foster sustainability in built environment in order to use sustainable materials for thermal comfort and in turn improve the environment and climate conditions.
The SBC program intends to select, customize and develop further relevant circularity recommendations and indicators for the built environment to be implemented in countries to build back better (post-covid 19 recoveries) and improve quality of life by decreasing emissions, increasing resilience, and providing local jobs especially in the field of affordable housing by 2022 and beyond. The objectives are to: 1. Deepen the content, analysis, and information.
The aim of the study is to facilitate in providing reliable healthcare to all sections of the community by energy-efficient and sustainable healthcare services. Collectively strategies and roadmaps shall be developed to achieve the above aim at all levels of health delivery system of the State varying from primary to tertiary levels in Punjab.
