The Green Economy team at The Council is building an alternative development paradigm for India that seamlessly combines the twin goals of economic growth and climate action. Our goal is to foster an economy that creates jobs, adds value, and attracts investments without being extractive or damaging to the environment, driven instead by a focus on regenerative, circular, and decentralised economic activities.

CEEW’s approach to building a holistic green economy cuts across crucial pillars, integrating the energy transition, the circular economy, and the bio-economy alongside nature-based solutions. To translate India’s green economy potential into tangible reality, the team actively engages with diverse spheres of influence across the ecosystem. By convening industry leaders, investors, start-ups, philanthropists, R&D innovators, academia, the media, and policymakers, we ensure a collaborative approach to sustainable development.

To steer this vision, we have established a Green Economy Council comprising eminent personalities to advise on strategic interventions, provide thought leadership, and champion sustainable growth at the highest levels. Furthermore, a dedicated Green Economy Accelerator has been set up to solve ecosystem-level problems and unlock bottlenecks within specific green value chains, ensuring that our proposed interventions are both practical and scalable.
