Our work

CEEW is a research and policy-focused institution and engages with stakeholders in academia, civil society, government and industry to pursue four main objectives:

 1.  To conduct high-quality interdisciplinary and cross-issue research on energy, environment and water.

 2.  To engage with the industry (in the private and public sector) to understand and influence factors affecting investments in sustainable infrastructure.

3.  To partner with governments, at the central, state and local levels, to assist in developing integrated plans for energy, environment and water management.

4.  To build a network of scholars, policymakers, political leaders, and civil society representatives – within and outside India – for regular debates and exchange of ideas.
