Experts stress responsible land use for India's renewable energy potential
Posted on 10 Nov, 2023 05:51 PMTo meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement, India must install an additional 300 GW of utility-scale solar and wind energy by 2030, with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. However, the land-intensive nature of renewable energy poses environmental and social challenges that need to be responsibly managed.

Shaping the future of clean energy manufacturing
Posted on 11 Oct, 2023 07:55 PMWhether the world and India needs an energy transition is no longer in question. Rather, the question is how to achieve it, and how soon. The answer to both of those questions could depend on how India gets the manufacturing and supply chain story right, as it will be not just India that benefits, but the world stands to gain as well.

Implementing ‘just transition’ in India
Posted on 12 Jul, 2023 09:33 AMEmanating from global discourse around worker welfare, the concept of ‘just transition’ has come to be associated with climate action, where it intends to transform energy systems from being fossil-dominated to environmentally cleaner forms by keeping the interests of vulnerable sections of society at the centre.
