Emerson Centre of Excellence for Sustainability Studies

The Centre is undertaking research activities aimed at advancing sustainability across various domains. We focus on developing frameworks that build institutional capacities; for example, we are innovating on a net-zero transition framework to aid educational campuses in strategizing their orientation towards net zero; we are also developing a framework that can be used by authorities to monitor sanitation and hygiene of large-scale events such as Maha Kumbh.

In addition, we are researching innovative carbon capture solutions using Azzola; developed a set of recommendations on nature-based climate solutions to enhance climate resilience in India; and designed a pathway for promoting sustainable practices through green public procurement in the energy sector.
