India has the fourth largest installed capacity of wind energy in the world, with the addition of 41 GW as of June 2022.
In line with last year’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2070, India, at its pavilion at the 27th session of the Conference of Parties or COP27 is talking about a climate-friendly, sustainable lifestyle.
The country has already made significant progress with installed renewable energy (RE) capacity reaching 114 GW as of 30 June 2022.
To meet its global commitments, India is planning to reduce fossil-fuel-based power generation by targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
As a rapidly developing nation, India is currently the world’s fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
In this two-part blog series, we revisit our experience in capacity building for civil society organisations (CSOs) working across India’s diverse rural landscape, where there is an urgent need to enhance climate adaptation knowledge to address the multi-dimensional challenges of climate change.
The first blog looked into the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy’s (CSTEP’s) engagement with Climate Asia (CA) on their Climate Action for Civil Society Organisation Development Programme for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
Andhra Pradesh's (AP’s) gross state domestic product stood at INR 1,201,736 crore (USD 157.
India’s commitment to reach net zero by 2070 and meet 50% of its cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy resources is a significant milestone in its fight against climate change.
India is endowed with a 71 GW offshore wind potential, as per the assessment by the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), but the country is yet to set up its first offshore wind plant.
The progress towards India’s ambitious net-zero goals requires that all states contribute to it.
While clean power generation is crucial, India’s energy transition requires concerted efforts from all actors in the power sector value chain.
Energy access is a well-proven determinant in several development and transformative sectors, such as education, primary health, gender empowerment, and quality of life.
CSTEP’s storage programme has two verticals: 1) techno-economic analysis of various storage systems along with policy aspects, and 2) research and development (R&D) of novel electrode and electrolyte materials for state-of-the-art and emerging battery systems using computer simulation techniques.
Rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) systems are intended to contribute 40 GW of India's 100 GW solar target.
