Our Impact

Science-Powered Resilience for a Changing Climate

The group conducts risk assessments, develops adaptation plans, and monitors implementation across varied geographical scales. It addresses uncertainties in climate impacts, providing scientific insights to support policymakers in creating targeted, effective strategies for building climate resilience.

Contribution to the Grand Challenges

Our group plays a vital role in addressing the grand challenge of building a Sustainable and Secure Future, embracing a resilient India amid increasing climate risks. By conducting detailed risk assessments and developing science-based adaptation strategies, the group helps policymakers prioritise effective measures tailored to specific hazards and regions. Their work bridges knowledge gaps and navigates uncertainties to support informed decision-making. Through implementation guidance and ongoing monitoring, they ensure adaptive actions remain relevant and effective over time. This approach strengthens communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure against climate impacts, aligning with India’s broader goals for sustainable development and climate resilience.
