.@orfonline was pleased to host a lecture by Niven Winchester on assessing the #economic effects of #climate policies, focused on how #economy-wide models can be used to evaluate the broader impacts of #climateaction.

The session explored the strengths and limitations of these models, introduced a new model under development at ORF, and situated it within the wider landscape of climate policy analysis in #India.

I am so very pleased to announce: Led by Secy @ritvikrp Team 16th FC, esp Shri Manish & Ms. Sangeetha, have created searchable copies of all past Finance Commissions’ reports. It will help researchers and future FCs. See here

With the #UnionBudget and Finance Commission recommendations expected soon, #climate risk must be treated as a core fiscal issue, not a sectoral concern. States bear the brunt of #climate impacts but lack predictable, risk-informed fiscal support: @Gopalika95 & @DrNilanjanG https://t.co/MlDdVltcLu

[ORF @orfonline]

As #India heads into the #UnionBudget, intergovernmental fiscal transfers must drive #climateaction. #ClimateRisk can’t stay at the margins, transfers should reflect exposure, vulnerability & resilience needs: @Gopalika95 & @DrNilanjanG https://t.co/oifRDN2l2t

#India’s 2025 #Budget pushes# energy transition: more renewables, #EVs, green hydrogen & #nuclear, plus domestic manufacturing boost. Ambitious steps for a greener, self-reliant future, but challenges in execution remain: @Gopalika95 https://t.co/1JTuVXnapr

.@orfonline recently convened a high-level roundtable on 'Strengthening the Role of Fiscal Federalism for Climate Change in India' to explore how intergovernmental #fiscal transfers can serve as a powerful tool for advancing #climateaction and environmental stewardship in #India.

The discussion focused on how Finance Commission transfers can be made more efficient, equitable, and aligned with #climate priorities, particularly through #tax devolution and grant-in-aid frameworks.

The session was chaired by @DrNilanjanG, with a presentation by @Gopalika95 on key #climate-related recommendations for the 16th Finance Commission.

A big thank you to all our participants for their valuable contributions to this critical conversation.

Here are a few glimpses from the day📸

[ORF @orfonline]

The Centre for Economy and Growth, @orfonline, hosted a roundtable titled 'India-led Development Financial Institutions for Global Green Finance' to explore innovative solutions for addressing currency risk in #climatefinance.

The discussion focused on practical policy and institutional #innovations that can help emerging markets secure affordable, long-term financing for their climate priorities. It also highlighted how #India’s leadership can strengthen its domestic financing system and pave the way for broader #GlobalSouth participation in #climate action.

A big thank you to all our participants for their valuable contributions to this critical conversation.

#India’s #climatetech sector, once seen as the next frontier for #deeptech, is facing setbacks due to systemic issues, #policy gaps, and a credibility crisis that have stifled growth and #innovation: @Gopalika95 https://t.co/2iUfQbg9U2

[ORF @orfonline]

Lack of clear regulatory support and cost premiums hinder #climate-tech adoption. Robust evaluation frameworks, government-backed subsidies, & strategic de-risking mechanisms are essential to accelerate #climate solutions: @GopalikaArora & @PujarShradha https://t.co/p1stCKyRRZ

7/ Big thanks to @orfonline for giving us the platform to contribute. A special shoutout to @Gopalika95, our editor, whose guidance shaped this publication. This work is a small part of the global call for action on climate adaptation. 🌏

[ORF @orfonline]

This publication offers a comprehensive guide to innovative ideas and mechanisms that can help elevate adaptation finance within the broader climate finance agenda, notes @Gopalika95 https://t.co/h4TaHnqwRI

[ORF @orfonline]

This compendium by @Gopalika95 aims to serve as a beacon to illuminate the critical opportunities and challenges in mobilising public, private, and multilateral finance for climate adaptation. https://t.co/h4TaHnpZ2a

[ORF @orfonline]

With a focus on critical sectors such as #agriculture, water management, #energy efficiency, and the circular economy, the discussions delved into the pressing financial, institutional, and regulatory barriers that hinder the deployment of these transformative technologies across #India.

#Photogallery | @orfonline in collaboration with @TheiaVentures hosted a day-long Green Innovation and Investment Dialogue on 12th September 2024.

The #UnionBudget 2024-25 seems to have overlooked the agrarian-rural #economy, which engages the largest segment of the working population. The allocation for schemes like MGNREGS remained stagnant at INR 860 billion: @Gopalika95 https://t.co/kfzTcbReR8

[ORF @orfonline]

As the risks posed by #climatechange become more evident, #UnionBudget 2024-25 presented a unique opportunity to shape #India’s #climateaction, as #energy security & climate resilience feature prominently among the nine key priorities: @GopalikaArora https://t.co/kfzTcbRMGG

[ORF @orfonline]

Gopalika Arora, Associate Fellow at @orfonline, spoke at a session on "The Price Is Transition: Who Gets it All?"

.@Gopalika95: Developing policies & strategies that ensure a socially & environmentally responsible #energytransition based on the unique characteristics of different countries is essential. A new approach is needed, one that extends beyond specific sectors, encompasses a broader economy-wide strategy and maximizes the economic co-benefits of such a transition.
