Listen & investigate
Field assessment, community participation, scientific research, and system studies help us understand the whole picture.
01 / AN IDEA BECOMES A PURPOSE
Climate expertise.
Local knowledge.
31 December 2012
What if scientific expertise and community knowledge could work together to create a more sustainable future?
That question sits at the heart of the Centre for Climate Change & Clean Development Initiatives.
C4DI was conceived by Chirag Shastri, who holds an M.Tech. in Sustainable Development and Climate Change, with support from scientists and experts associated with institutions including the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL).
Today, we bring scientists, socio-economists, academicians, students, social-sector professionals, and field practitioners together. Our disciplines span environmental science, climate change, geomatics, engineering, social work, and rural development.
We work at the intersection of climate action, environmental research, community development, and applied decision-making—combining technical expertise with the understanding that comes from working in the field.
