Industrial decarbonisation initiative from IIM Calcutta
Call it an initiative to bridge the sustainability gap or something else! IIM Calcutta's Centre for Development and Environment Policy (CDEP) has now come up with a new initiative - Building Roadmaps for Industrial Decarbonisation and Green Economy (BRIDGE). CEDP has teamed up with The Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), and International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). Broadly, BRIDGE has three interrelated objectives: first, contribute to the creation of knowledge and knowledge bases on how to accomplish an effective and just carbon transition; second, build awareness and train executives of public and private energy firms in evolving best practices on transition in India and other developing nations; and third, build awareness and expertise among postgraduate students and encourage doctoral research on low carbon transition finance and strategy, top IIMC officials said.
