Special event on transport and climate change during DSDS 2010
January 1, 2010 to
March 31, 2010
TERI organized its flagship event DSDS (Delhi Sustainable Development Summit), from 5-7 February 2010 in Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi focusing on the overarching theme ‘Beyond Copenhagen: new pathways to sustainable development’. Tenth in the series, the summit received audience from all over the globe. Distinguished world leaders, influential opinion-makers and high-level participants were present during the event that was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh.Best Practice Guide for Energy Efficiency in Municipal Water Pumping in India
August 17, 2009 to
March 22, 2010
The document will be based on consultation with multiple municipalities that have implemented water pumping energy efficiency activities, using their experiences and lessons learnt as a founction.Conclave at WFES- Climate change and buildings Conclave at World Future Energy Summit, Abu Dhabi- Climate change and buildings
<br>
January 17, 2010 to
March 17, 2010
It is widely recognized that buildings are responsible for more than one-third of total energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions globally. The building sector can contribute to mitigating impacts of climate change by delivering significant greenhouse gas emission reductions; and energy, resource, and cost savings through action oriented policy initiatives.Possible Impacts of relatively severe climate change
<br>
September 1, 2008 to
March 16, 2010
A1Fi storylines looks into the higher range of emissions and therefore relates to severe impacts. This study seeks to carry out an assessment of these impacts over North India and seeks to suggest measures that help close the feedback loops.Income generation activity for SHG women in rural areas through conservation of biomass and promotion of Biomass Gas Stoves (BGS's) for small commercial applications
November 10, 2008 to
March 4, 2010
The major goal of the project is to promote fuel efficient energy devices in rural sector. We proposed two major approaches: i) promotion of BGS for small enterprises in rural areas; and ii) involving Self Help Groups (SHGs) for cutting and supplying sized biomass to the BGSs.Third Indo-Japan Energy Forum
December 1, 2009 to
February 28, 2010
Building on the success of the first two India–Japan Energy Forums, TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), India and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), Japan have decided to organize the 3rd India–Japan Energy Forum on 15–16 February 2010 in New Delhi. The earlier editions of the Forum, held in December 2006 and February 2008, focused on issues related to the respective national policies on energy, energy conservation, and climate change. Representatives fromResearch on key issues in climate change negotiations
December 1, 2006 to
February 28, 2010
The project provids inputs and assist the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India on issues in climate change negotiations by review of the 4th National Communication of Annex I countries and the progress with their emission reduction commitments, looking in scientific and technological aspects in climate change mitigation and adaptation as covered in the forthcoming IPCC AR4. The project also give an analysis of issues and options in long-term cooperative action to address climate change and post 2012 arrangements.Carbon footprint of urban population
July 1, 2008 to
February 28, 2010
TERI has developed a methodological framework to estimate the carbon footprint of urban energy use. This framework is being applied in two cities (one Indian and one Chinese city) to estimate their urban household energy footprint in terms of carbon equivalent emissionsConference on Biopesticides: Stakeholders’ Perspectives during 26-30 April, 2009, New Delhi
<br>
December 1, 2008 to
February 16, 2010
TERI in collaboration with Society forPromotion and Innovation of Biopesticides is organizing Fifth
International Conference on Biopesticides: Stakeholders’ Perspectives from
April 26-30, 2009 at India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi. The
Conference envisages addressing the fundamental and applied research on
various aspects of biopesticides in pest and disease management in
agriculture, forestry, public health and the urban landscape. The
Conference will provide a common platform to the stakeholders from India
