Book Launch and Workshop on 'Energy and environment in the context of Sustainable development goals in India'

TERI organized a workshop on "Energy and Environment in the Context of Sustainable Development Goals in India" on March 31, 2015 at Magnolia Hall, India Habitat Centre. The objective of the workshop was to stir discussions on energy- and environment-related goals for India in the context of sustainable development. The workshop was supported by the DFID-TERI Partnership for Clean Energy Access and Improved Policies for Sustainable Development. It was conducted in the form of structured panel discussions. The three topical sessions included sustainable development goals in the context of India; sustainable energy; and environmental sustainability.

The event was initiated with the release of the 29th edition of TEDDY 2014/15. TEDDY is TERI's annual publication which has been in existence since 1986. It presents the state-of-the-art information on energy supply, energy demand, and environment. TEDDY is cited by policy documents, international energy agencies, and scholars worldwide. The data in TEDDY is compiled from various government sources, policy documents and other secondary sources. Each edition of TEDDY contains India's commercial energy balances that provide comprehensive information on energy flows within different sectors of the economy. It has been envisaged that TEDDY, in near future, could become a periodic source for crucial discussions on energy and environment in the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs).
