About the Organization

From shifting weather patterns to rising sea levels, the impact of climate change is global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without any action today, adapting to the effects of climate change in the future will be difficult.

With this premise, Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation works to facilitate India’s transition to a cleaner future by aiding the design and implementation of policies that promote clean energy technologies, electric mobility, sustainable transport, industries, cooling, net-zero buildings, agriculture, coasts, climate finance, clean power, energy efficiency, & climate policy. Working collaboratively with policymakers, civil society, industry, think tanks, & academia, Shakti seeks to catalyze transformative & more effective climate solutions.
