Workshop on Leveraging Geospatial Applications for Urban Climate Resilience: A Case of Bengaluru
As urbanisation accelerates in India, cities face a growing array of climate-related and socio-environmental issues, including urban flooding, the urban heat island effect, and pressure on infrastructure systems such as public transport. Building resilient cities requires data-driven insights into urban systems and their vulnerabilities. Addressing these challenges requires a robust understanding of the underlying environmental drivers. Geospatial technologies have emerged as essential tools for monitoring, analysing, and visualising urban and climate dynamics.
Sustainable biomanufacturing: Key to India's green transition
In the battle against climate change, the role of chemistry and the chemical industry is often overlooked. As India accelerates its industrial growth, it must embrace sustainable biomanufacturing and green chemistry not just to meet environmental commitments but to reinforce economic competitiveness.
Climate risk profile for the agriculture and allied sector in Odisha
Odisha’s agricultural and allied sectors, vital to the state’s economy, face mounting threats from climate change. These sectors are increasingly exposed and are vulnerable to climate extremes, posing significant risks to livelihoods and food security.
Resource use and greenhouse gas emissions profiles for districts of Odisha
Odisha’s agricultural and allied sectors face severe threats from climate change. These sectors are crucial for the state’s economy yet are increasingly at risk to climate extremes. This scoping report series is an exercise to identify the priority districts for intervention to build resilience sustainably in the agriculture and allied sectors of the state.
Data-driven prioritisation of districts for climate-smart agriculture in Odisha
Odisha’s agricultural and allied sectors, which are vital to the state’s economy, face growing threats from climate change and its associated extremes. This scoping report series aims to identify priority districts for targeted interventions to enhance resilience in these sectors. The analysis integrates three key components—Resource Use Profiling (RUP), Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory, and Climate Risk Assessment (CRA)—to examine the nature, extent, and intensity of climate impacts on agriculture and allied activities.
Intern
Join our team as an intern for a unique opportunity to contribute to the integration of renewable energy sources into transmission networks as well as to be a part of initiatives for integrating of electric vehicles (EVs) and solar-rooftop technologies into distribution networks.

Press Release: Urban Greenprints: A Nature-based Solutions Feasibility Framework for Urban Coastal Regions
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), a Bengaluru-based think tank, has released a new report titled Urban Greenprints: A Nature-based Solutions Feasibility Framework for Urban Coastal Regions, calling for a paradigm shift in how India’s coastal cities approach urban planning and climate resilience.
Analyst
The analyst will be involved in various short- and long-term modelling studies on energy transition to asses its impact on land-use and need for critical minerals, and its contribution in reaching net-zero emissions. This work will be in the Climate Change Mitigation domain within the Climate, Environment, and Sustainability sector.
