Climate action demands integrated, long-term planning across sectors to ensure sustainability and resilience.
Key Objective: The main objective of this project is to develop an energy model as a visualisation and planning tool (Decision Support System) that will enable policymakers to create and test their strategies virtually.
We believe that in long-term forecasting, understanding the dynamic behaviour of the system and its responses to various interventions is crucial.
India has to overcome several developmental challenges in the coming decades.
As we inch closer to another global climate summit, COP27, climate projection models will once again be thrust into the limelight as they play an important role in devising net-zero strategies.
As India dons the role of a solar superpower, a crucial hurdle in the country’s journey to self-reliance in this sector is the availability of the key raw material—polysilicon.
The Sustainable Alternative Futures for India (SAFARI) model (Kumar et al.
India is attempting to navigate a delicate balance – achieving our development goals sustainably without compromising on our climate targets.
India’s falling aquifer levels, erratic monsoons, arable land constraints, stagnating crop yields, growing food demand, and rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions necessitate that strategic interventions be planned and implemented to maintain food security in the country.
India’s rapid urbanisation underscores the need to balance growing consumption patterns, development goals, and climate commitments.
India announced its net-zero target for the year 2070.
CSTEP conducted a closed-door roundtable discussion on ‘Net-Zero Scenarios for India’s Buildings Sector’ on 18 December 2023 in Bengaluru.
Our Annual Report 2023–2024 highlights how CSTEP's innovative solutions are driving a change on the ground.
Decarbonising the transport sector is essential not only to achieve the net-zero target but also to improve quality of life through benefits such as better air, reduced traffic-related woes, and urban heat management.
It is well established that to achieve net-zero emissions, decarbonising the transport sector is crucial.
