Initiative on Climate, Energy and Environment

CPR Climate Initiative is now CPR Initiative on Climate, Energy, and Environment.

We have reformulated our main objectives as:

To understand and interpret the global climate change regime
To stimulate and inform a strategic and sectoral debate around India’s energy future focusing on the buildings and electricity sectors
To operationalize, implement, and promote, an integrated approach to climate and development and
To analyse key issues of domestic environmental law, governance and regulation, and in particular consider institutional capacities for strategic environmental governance.

CPR retains spot as leading India climate think tank for third year in a row
