Net zero is not just a call for emissions reductions—it is a call for economic transformation. The pathways we follow will have far-reaching implications for all levels of government, balance sheets of businesses, portfolios of financial institutions and the quality of life of citizens. CEEW and Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford have launched a first-of-its-kind course, ‘Reaching Net Zero for India'. The online, self-paced certificate course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive overview of #NetZero, with a special section tailored to India's unique challenges and opportunities. It features the expertise of Smith School academics like Dr Radhika Khosla, Dr Anupama Sen, and Ranjita Rajan, as well as subject matter experts from CEEW Dr Vaibhav Chaturvedi and Arjun Dutt.

#Opinion | Gains of Green Economy The Budget focus on MSME, energy security and innovation can translate into a green economy thrust. Many think of a green economy only as an energy-centric transition from fossil fuels to renewables. But the opportunities are much greater if we can start reshaping not just the energy India consumes but also the materials it uses.

#Opinion | India’s clean energy manufacturing strategy must move beyond ‘China+1’ to ‘India+ Many’ India’s clean energy manufacturing sector has been at a crossroads. Amid geoeconomic shifts, technological disruptions, and sustained calls for localising production, the momentum from the “China+1” approach—expanding trade with other countries, including India, without fully discontinuing imports from China—has proven short-lived. The key takeaway is now becoming clear: India cannot afford to be seen merely as an alternative and must position itself as an indispensable player in global clean energy value chains. ✍ Writing for ThePrint, Rishabh Jain and Shruti Gauba outline how India can begin to embed itself more strategically and widely in the global clean energy market by leveraging the initiatives proposed under the 2025 #UnionBudget.

#CEEWDialogues | How can Uttarakhand achieve net-zero emissions? Last week, in collaboration with the Government of Uttarakhand and UNDP in India, we convened a stakeholder consultation to explore pathways for the state’s net-zero transition. The discussion brought together civil society organisations, research institutions, and universities working in Uttarakhand. Over the past year, CEEW has been engaged by the Centre for Public Policy and Good Governance (CPPGG), SETU Aayog, Government of Uttarakhand, to prepare a net-zero transition plan for the state.
