The growth of modern cities is a critical lever for economic growth and prosperity around the world, bringing benefits such as improved employment opportunities and an increased quality of life for citizens through better education and health. Despite these benefits, the world’s cities account for 70% of energy consumption and 75% of carbon emissions while occupying just 3% of the Earth’s land …

Insights into consumer demand for green products, especially green building materials and green buildings, are extremely limited in India. This is particularly true for the burgeoning middle-class segment. Through our research, it’s clear that middle-income residents in Tier 1 cities are concerned about environmental quality and already have demand for green buildings and materials. The problem is they are hampered …

India’s renewable energy shift promises decentralisation that challenges the historical inequal concentration of power perpetuated by the fossil fuel economy. While coal and oil have strengthened traditionally commercial strongholds – solar, hydro and biogas offer localised ownership models that provide communities access and self-sufficiency. The energy transition presents a rare window for rectifying energy poverty through distributed and people-centric pathways congruent with India’s cooperative ideals. But how do we ensure a successful, just, outcome?
Meeting India’s net zero timeline demands promising climate solutions still confined to labs or universities quickly find the investment and guidance required to pilot, scale, and reach mass adoption. Historically, even proven technologies such as solar PV and lithium batteries have taken decades to mature. While investor appetite for sustainable solutions is rising, the lack of performance data keeps many innovations dependent on philanthropic grants. How do we accelerate technological innovation?
As India seeks to harness renewables to power its net-zero ascent, enabling industries to retrofit infrastructure and adopt clean technologies remains capital-intensive. Prevailing climate financing architecture spotlights inherently “green” domains such as solar and electric mobility, while underserving the decarbonisation needs of carbon-heavy sectors. This skewed allocation threatens to constrain the transition pathways of sectors vital to India’s economy, such …
