Assessing the co-benefits of a low carbon development pathway for India
December 27, 2017
| Air
The objective of the project is to estimate co-benefits of the GHG mitigation strategies on air quality, human health and agricultural productivity. This calls for the following: a) Preparation of high-resolution emission inventory based on energy modelling results of the MARKAL/TIMES model for the policy scenarios developed under the on-going WRI/TERI study. b) Carrying out meteorological and air quality simulations to predict Particulate Matter (PM) and Ozone concentrations across the study domain for current and future time scales
Afforestation/Reforestation Clean Development Mechanism study under Uttar Pradesh Participatory Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation Project
December 27, 2017
| Forest & Biodiversity
Under this study, TERI is preparing Afforestation/Reforestation Clean Development Mechanism (A/R CDM) projects in the areas under UP Participatory Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation Project (UPPFMPAP - http://www.uppfmpap.org/), which is under implementation in the 20 forest divisions spread over 14 districts of the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions for building sector

| Buildings
| Sustainable Habitat
TERI is developing Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the buildings sector for Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam. The project will assist the countries in recognizing the significant mitigation potential of the building section, identify and recommend actions for development in the NAMAs, provide MRV (measurement, reporting and verification) tools and an overall framework to support NAMA development by the countries.

Developing a recycling plan for old solar PVs
December 27, 2017
| Energy
The project is to study challenges in the inter-connection of solar PV based microgrid with distribution grids and develop standardized architecture/road map to accelerate the solar PV based microgrid development in India and Develop a recycling plan for solar PV module and new battery technology used in microgrids applications.
Mapping Policies and Stakeholders on Climate Adaptation for Crop-Based Systems in the Global South
December 27, 2017
| Resource Efficiency & Governance
Climate change posed a serious challenge to the agriculture systems not only given its implications for food security and livelihoods but also given the current agrarian distress characterized by declining growth rates in yield, depleting soil fertility, and receding groundwater resources, rising cultivation costs, and inflation.
Enabling Cities to Implement Innovative Sustainable Urban Solutions

| Climate Change
India is on the cusp of urbanisation with around 34% of the country’s population currently living in cities and a rate of urbanisation higher than most South Asian countries. By 2030, it is expected that 40% of India’s population will be living in urban areas, contributing to more than two-thirds of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). High rates of urbanisation, industrialisation, and economic development are exerting significant pressure on civic services and infrastructure across cities in India.
