TV9 partners with TERI for What India Thinks Today Global Summit 2025

The world today is witnessing a paradigm shift on how the future will shape. The adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), covering economic, social development, and environmental protection, provide an opportunity for engagement and a new type of partnership to address the global challenges. One of the key challenges of sustainable development is that it demands new and innovative choices and ways of thinking. While developments in knowledge and technology are contributing to economic development, they also have the potential to help resolve the risks and threats to the sustainability of our social relations, environment, and economies. New knowledge and innovations in technology, management, and public policy are challenging organizations to make new choices in the way their operations, products, services, and activities impact the earth, people, and economies.

To support this expectation, and to communicate clearly and openly about sustainability, a globally shared framework of concepts, consistent language, and metrics is required. Businesses play a vital role by understanding the opportunities and challenges on one hand, and by mobilizing resources and offering know-how and solutions, on the other. Private sector investments and market-based solutions will be needed to achieve scalable and sustained impact in many sectors, while aligning with <2°C pathways to reduce exposure to climate risks. The UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development offer a compelling growth strategy, opening up an economic prize of at least US$ 1 trillion by 2030 for the Indian private sector.

Herein, collaborative approaches assume significant importance. Such collaborations should leverage capabilities of non-state actors to accomplish the goals of a sustainable and resilient planet. Individual challenges such as decarbonisation are not standalone but are part of dynamic and complex organisational processes and systems that are intertwined with each other. For years now, companies have been working on implementing environmental, social, and governance measures to promote a better world. But some leaders are going beyond checkboxes and charity, reconfiguring their products and services to make sustainability the core of their business itself.

On the occasion of the third edition of TV9 signature thought fest – 'What India Thinks Today', TV9 and TERI have collaborated to explore how India can ensure it navigates its way through the energy trilemma of ensuring energy security, energy equity, environmental sustainability for its people while decarbonising while still being on track in its decarbonisation journey.
