The Energy and Resources Institute

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is an autonomous, not-for-profit policy research institution that specializes in energy, environment, and sustainable development. With a strong field presence across the country, TERI maintains robust relationships with governments, corporations, and communities to develop and deploy strategies for reform and evidence building on a wide range of challenges related to sustainable environment and energy management. This award supports TERI to develop a robust body of knowledge on sustainable pathways for fossil fuel-dependent communities to equitably transition to clean energy. It enables TERI to study the current and potential socioeconomic impacts of such a transition and propose proactive actions and policies that will make the process of change equitable, leading to more equal outcomes for all parties involved.

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is a leading South Asian not-for-profit policy research institution based in India. As an organization committed to creating innovative solutions for a sustainable future, TERI’s work spans a wide range of themes including climate, energy, environment, agriculture, habitats, health and nutrition, and resource management. In the climate and energy sector, TERI has been actively conducting policy research and analysis on topics relevant to India’s participation in international sustainable development conventions and treaties. TERI’s input regularly informs the federal government’s international and domestic climate policy decisions. This award enables TERI to conduct research and analysis on the new reporting requirements set by the United Nations Framework for Climate Change Convention for tracking progress of Nationally Determined Contribution commitments and other mitigation policies; to identify domestic challenges in monitoring and reporting, and to build institutional capacities to gather, review and communicate emissions data in line with the new transparency guidelines. It supports TERI to set up an independent platform to convene relevant stakeholders to deliberate on thematic issues and options for India, to contribute to international convenings, and to track global developments on the topic.
