Developing a recycling plan for old solar PVs
December 27, 2017
| Energy
The project is to study challenges in the inter-connection of solar PV based microgrid with distribution grids and develop standardized architecture/road map to accelerate the solar PV based microgrid development in India and Develop a recycling plan for solar PV module and new battery technology used in microgrids applications.
Mapping Policies and Stakeholders on Climate Adaptation for Crop-Based Systems in the Global South
December 27, 2017
| Resource Efficiency & Governance
Climate change posed a serious challenge to the agriculture systems not only given its implications for food security and livelihoods but also given the current agrarian distress characterized by declining growth rates in yield, depleting soil fertility, and receding groundwater resources, rising cultivation costs, and inflation.

| 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.
