1. Project Title: ‘Gender and State Climate Change Action Plans in India: Research and policies to enable poor women and rural communities adapt to climate change’
Donor: Climate & Development Knowledge Network
Position: Principal Investigator
Duration: 01/04/2012 till 30/06/2013
Funding Amount: 9.56 lakhs
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) supported study has attempted to look into various adaptation centric policies and expenditure frameworks in select states such as Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal from the perspective of Gender. A policy paper is now currently accepted for publication in Handbook on Climate Change Adaptation (2014) which will be published by Springer Publisher.

2. Project Title: “Assessment of Expenditure Priorities for Low Carbon Economy in India: The Study of Union Budgets”.
Donor: Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation / Climate Works Foundation (Washington DC.)
Position: Principal Investigator
Duration: 01/09/2011 till 31/07/2013
Funding Amount: 16 lakhs
Supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, the project intends to develop a comprehensive methodology on expenditure priorities of the Union Government that would increase the responsiveness of the Government towards mitigating climate change and promoting Low Carbon Economy (LCE) in the country. In order to develop such methodology, the study analyses some broad questions such as relevant national policies formulated recently for reducing carbon emissions, various mitigation-centric national missions, National Mission on Energy Efficiency, covered under National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), and other Centrally Sponsored Schemes which are instrumental in furthering the objectives of LCE.
2. 1. Research Study: Framework and Performance of the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF)
Supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, the study attempts to read critically the operational aspect of the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) so that interested individuals, private players and organization or consortiums of above mentioned stakeholders would explore the opportunity of additional resources available with the Union Government, so that they can put their knowledge for the innovation and promotion of clean energy technology in the country. The study highlights the application process of various projects proposals for availing funding opportunities under NCEF, the role of Inter-ministerial Group (IMG) in the process of appraisal of projects proposals, and finally evaluates NCEF in its present context. The outcome of the study is a policy brief which is being shared with the Members of Parliament to take up the issue for the monsoon session of the Parliament. The published policy paper can be accessed by http://www.cbgaindia.org/publications_briefing_papers.php

2.2. Research Study: Assessing Low Carbon Expenditure in the Transport Sector in India
Supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, the study attempts to critically examine the Transport sector in India through Low Carbon lens and try to assess how much public spendingincurs especially by the Union Government. The study taking into account various central sectors schemes in the context of certain low carbon parameters such as (1) Modal shift in the share of passengers using private transport to public and non-motorised transport system, (2) Modal shifts of freights from road transport to other modes such as rail and wherever required using water/shipping transport as medium of increasing domestic freight operation, (3) Improve fuel efficiencies in the transport sectors (Methodology Paper is under review).
2.3. Research Study: Public Spending towards Harnessing Renewable Energy in India
Supported by Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, the study looks critically the inter-linkage between public spending and policy priorities for the renewable energy sector in the country. Tapping renewable energy sources hence is being mooted as an alternative proposal for meeting the deficiency in energy access and also reducing import dependency for the economy. The current budgetary outlays for the sector is extremely limited and pegged within 0.1% of the Union Budgets. There is huge scope for improving public expenditure for the sector. The policy paper is available on http://www.cbgaindia.org/new_publications.php?action=details&id=61

2. Assessment of Policy Priorities for Low Carbon Economy in India
Status: Ongoing
Donor: University Grants Commission (UGC) Major Research Project
Position: Principal Investigator
Funding Amount: 8.52 lakhs
To examine relevant national policies and expenditure priorities for various low carbon ministries and departments at the Government of India level in the post National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) phase which are targeted for reducing carbon emissions through various mitigation-centric national missions and other Centrally Sponsored Schemes which are instrumental in furthering the objectives of Low Carbon Economy in the country.

3. The Comparative Study of International Political Economy: Perspectives of Financing the Clean Energy Sector in Select Countries (India, China and Brazil)
Status: Ongoing
Donor: Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR)
Position: Principal Investigator
Funding Amount: 20 lakhs
The proposed project aims at unraveling the international political economy (IPE) perspectives of financing of clean energy in select countries such as India, China and Brazil. The economies of these BRICS block are closely tied with global energy security. The carbon-intensive economies of these selected countries would pose a significant challenge to the existing global climate change mitigation framework, as global communities gear towards renegotiating the framework to contain the global temperature within 20C by 2020. Hence there is a need for financing clean energy in the BRICs countries.
