Over the past half-a-century, The Energy and Resources Institute has established itself as a leading institution, spearheading transformative efforts in sustainable energy, environmental conservation, climate action, and beyond. With pioneering research, innovative technologies, and impactful policy interventions, TERI continues to drive meaningful change. This Strategic Document Vision: 2025–30 showcases the recent accomplishments of our programmes and special initiatives while outlining their short-term and long-term priorities for the future.
In the short term, TERI’s strategic focus lies in piloting innovative technologies, advancing regulatory frameworks, enhancing capacity building, and fostering community-centric sustainable practices. Programmes are geared towards supporting policy design, driving behaviour change, expanding stakeholder training, and demonstrating on-ground models across sectors such as clean energy, sustainable agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience, and social transformation. In the long term, TERI envisions scaling up these interventions through transformative research, large-scale deployment of clean technologies, development of integrated sustainability frameworks, and strengthening international partnerships. Emphasis will be on enabling systemic decarbonization, promoting circular economy solutions, mainstreaming climate-smart infrastructure, and accelerating the transition towards a net-zero, resource-efficient, and inclusive development trajectory by 2030.
