The Vision for FOLU India is a nutritionally secure, healthy and prosperous India, which is sustainably managing its food and land use systems, supported by a productive, efficient and inclusive economy.
De-Risking Investment in Solar Energy
November 1, 2017 to
March 31, 2021
The goal of this project to establish a trustful and effective cooperation between actors from civil society, research, the private sector and politics in a transformative multi-stakeholder partnership leading to a sharp increase in installation of renewable energy in India through de-risking solar investment. This encompasses mainly a study paper, national dialogue events or workshops and the development of policy papers.
Enhancing Low Carbon Transport
March 12, 2020 to
March 11, 2021
| Transport
Multi-pronged strategies are required to reduce emissions from the transport sector to achieve the climate change goals. TERI, in this project looked at the decarbonization strategies and the impact of EVs on energy demand and load curve in detail.
India's case study on Just Transition
August 28, 2020 to
January 29, 2021
| Resources & Sustainable Development
| Energy
An examination of how just transitions can be achieved along with the changes India needs to make to address climate change
The project aims to create a case study on India exploring how a just transition can be achieved alongside the type of transformational change that is necessary to address climate change. The case study examines and presents the lessons on how CIF investments in India have contributed to or interacted with efforts to ensure just transitions, including challenges met while sharing potential future opportunities.
Roadmap for Electrification of Urban Freight in India
August 1, 2019 to
December 19, 2020
| Transport
Urban freight movement forms a crucial part of the urban ecosystem. It is a fundamental part of the overall transportation supply chain. Movement of goods originating from or outside the urban periphery which enters into an urban area through commercial road vehicles forms the urban freight network. Such movement is usually catered by both light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M/HCVs) depending upon volume of goods carried, distance travelled, and the service area to be catered.
