Climate Change & Sustainability

Committed to strengthening climate resilience

The sector has been involved in evidence-based research,Designing climate resilient infrastructure, adaptation strategies for vulnerable communities, disaster risk reduction and integrating climate risks into public and private planning.

Thematic focus

Approach

Use digital tools like Climate Risk Observatory (CRO), GIS mapping, policy toolkits, and climate vulnerability indices to inform evidence‑driven adaptation and financing strategies.
Focus on cross‑sectoral integration—energy, water, agriculture, gender mainstreaming, forest governance, health, tourism and climate finance—to embed resilience across policy, infrastructure, and local livelihoods.
Global South South cooperation – focus on exchange of resources, technology, and knowledge.

Key assignments

1. Climate Readiness Index (CRI) – Phase 1(Mapping Sub-National Climate Readiness Across India)

IPE Global’s Climate Readiness Index (CRI) Phase 1 establishes India’s first evidence-based platform to assess the climate preparedness of states and districts. Focusing on the top 10 carbon-emitting states, the CRI delivers a comprehensive dashboard that blends low-carbon and climate-resilience indicators—incorporating economic, policy, financial, technological, and natural resource parameters. This tool empowers decision-makers to benchmark progress and drive India’s sustainable, inclusive transition.

2. Climate Readiness Index (CRI) – Phase 2 (Advancing Predictive Climate Preparedness through Sectoral Integration and Scenario Modelling)

Building upon the foundational insights of CRI Phase 1, IPE Global’s CRI Phase 2 advances the platform by developing a predictive, scenario-ready model for climate preparedness across India’s key sectors. This phase expands the scope to include detailed sectoral integration—energy, transport, agriculture, and others—while addressing critical data gaps. It equips policymakers and stakeholders with enhanced tools to forecast climate outcomes under varied development and policy pathways, fostering proactive, evidence-based climate action aligned with India’s sustainability goals.
