#CSIEngagements CSI will be participating in The Future of Transport & Energy Summit at #Earthfest2026 during London Climate Action Week @london_climate. Our Engagement Lead, Archit Fursule, will be joining conversations on decarbonising transport and energy systems at scale. 🧵

[Climate and Sustainability Initiative (CSI) @theCSI]

We look forward to contributing to CSI’s perspectives alongside policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and innovators from across the global climate ecosystem.

India's critical minerals strategy cannot stop at access. It must also focus on building domestic processing capabilities and capturing more value across the supply chain.

#CSIInsights China controls 91% of global rare-earth refining capacity. India is 100% import dependent for lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
Yet these are the minerals powering the clean energy transition.

Another challenge:
Most global engagement focuses on securing raw materials. But the real value lies further down the supply chain in refining, processing, and manufacturing.

#CSIPolicyBrief | 33% of India’s microfinance portfolio is concentrated in eastern states- regions that are also among the most climate-vulnerable. This overlap creates what CSI identifies as a compounded risk hotspot, where high exposure meets high vulnerability.

@IEEFA_AsiaPac As global competition for critical minerals intensifies, project de-risking and execution capacity will become critical to India’s energy transition and energy security ambitions.

India imports 100% of its lithium, cobalt, and nickel requirements for clean energy technologies.

But the bigger challenge may not just be access to minerals.

It is access to capital.

@IEEFA_AsiaPac The analysis maps financing gaps across the supply chain from exploration and mining to refining, recycling, and manufacturing.
The key takeaway:
Policy intent must be matched by commercially viable investment ecosystems.

#CSIPolicyBrief | What happens when a failed monsoon becomes a missed repayment?
For millions of low-income borrowers in India, climate shocks are no longer occasional; they are increasingly shaping livelihoods and credit outcomes.

CSI’s latest issue brief, Micro Loans, Macro Shocks: How Climate Risk is Reshaping India’s Microfinance Industry, examines how this link between climate and microfinance is evolving and what it means for the sector.
