The Green School project 2.0 is a pioneering collaboration between the Tata Steel Foundation (TSF) and TERI. This initiative aims to foster critical thinking, interdisciplinary learnings, and a profound understanding of environment conservation values amongst the students studying in schools operating in Tata Steel operational areas.
State-Level Policy Dialogue on Advancing Inclusive Fisheries Governance for SDG 14 Towards Sustainable, Equitable, and Resilient Blue Growth
August 27, 2025
| Resources & Sustainable Development
The Global Context: A Race Against Time
Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water) focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources while ensuring equitable access for coastal communities, particularly small-scale fishers. Key targets include addressing overfishing and Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing (Target 14.4), expanding marine conservation areas (Target 14.5), reforming harmful subsidies (Target 14.6), and strengthening market access for artisanal fishers (Target 14.b).

Towards Sustainable, Equitable, and Resilient Blue Growth
The Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water emphasizes the conservation and sustainable use of ocean and marine resources. Its targets include preventing overexploitation of fish stocks, conserving coastal and marine ecosystems, eliminating harmful fishing subsidies, and ensuring equitable access for small-scale fishers. Collectively, these objectives aim to promote sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation, and inclusive governance to safeguard ocean health and enhance coastal livelihoods.
Improving Urban Air Quality by Facilitating Piloting of Clean Air Zones in Vijayawada & Visakhapatnam
July 1, 2025
| Air
Air pollution remains one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting urban health, economic productivity, and overall quality of life in Indian cities. Visakhapatnam, a prominent industrial and coastal hub in Andhra Pradesh, is no exception. As the city continues to expand, it faces persistent air quality issues driven primarily by emissions from industrial activities, including heavy manufacturing, port operations, and thermal power generation.

Manipur’s First Spring Census and Feasibility Study for Sustainable Springshed Management
Manipur is endowed with abundant natural springs that play a critical role in sustaining both human communities and ecological systems. Located at the confluence of the Indo-Burma and Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspots, the state’s topography—characterized by north-south aligned ridges and tropical rainforests—creates ideal conditions for numerous springs, streams, and waterfalls.
Simulating the Effects of Earth Cooling Approaches on the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Monsoon and Precipitation Extremes

| Energy
Global warming is significantly altering precipitation patterns, making wet regions wetter and increasing aridity in dry areas. This research project investigates the impacts of Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) specifically Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) on monsoon systems. By utilizing high-resolution climate models, we aim to provide a detailed understanding of how cooling the planet might modulate the fundamental physical drivers of extreme weather.
Programme LEAD (Leadership for Environment, Awareness and Development) 2025
June 1, 2025
| Environment Education
The Education for Youth Empowerment (EYE) Area of Environment Education and Awareness (EEA) Division at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has designed a summer programme that enables school students to gain knowledge, enhance their skillsets and obtain access to resources and networks to strengthen their competencies on issues related to environment and sustainable development.
Innovations for Advancing Climate Action and Green Economy

| Centre for Sustainable Development Research
The objective of the initiative is to catalyse green growth in the state of Assam through innovations such as green budgeting, Green Public Procurement (GPP), and sensitization on green finance mechanisms. While environment departments generally have the mandate to deal with issues related to climate change, sustainable development, and similar areas, their locus standi on implementation is comparatively weak due to the low budget allocations they receive.
PACT-Digi-PULSE: Partnering for Advancing Carbon-Neutral Transitions Using Digital Twin Based Planning for Urban Living and Sustainable Environment for the city of Thoothukudi

Project Overview
India is experiencing rapid economic growth and is among the fastest growing economies globally. Over the past two decades, the country has witnessed substantial expansion driven by accelerated urbanisation. According to the United Nations, more than 50 per cent of India’s population is expected to be reside in cities and towns by 2050, reflecting the pace of urban transition.
