Reaching Net Zero for India (in partnership with CEEW)

Reaching Net Zero for India covers the science of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, their link to net-zero goals, and the unique challenges and opportunities this presents in India. Participants will explore the intersection of climate change as both a scientific reality and a political issue, gaining insights into how different climate communication strategies can influence political will and drive progress toward net zero.

Reaching Net Zero for India is tailored for policymakers, senior executives in public-sector banks and financial institutions, decision-makers, corporate social responsibility (CSR) teams, and sustainability officers from India's banking, corporate and public sectors, as well as academia and training institutes who seek to develop confidence in researching, discussing and connecting their work to the net zero efforts.

This course provides participants with the knowledge and tools to integrate sustainability and climate change considerations into their decision-making processes.

Bridging global expertise with India's specific climate goals, participants will gain both a robust foundational understanding, and targeted insights into India's pathways to net zero.
