Council on Energy Environment and Water

At the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), we are dedicated to driving sustainable solutions that address critical challenges in energy, environment, and water. CEEW is an independent, not-for-profit policy research institution headquartered in New Delhi. Since 2010, we have worked on the belief that these three issues are not separate problems but interconnected concerns, and that the best answers come from analysing them together. Our values, Integrated, International and Independent, shape how we work. We prize the independence of our research above all, and we are committed to impact at scale in India and across the Global South.

We bring together a diverse group of experts and stakeholders to conduct research, advocate policy changes, and implement impactful programmes. Our work uses data, integrated analysis and strategic outreach to explain, and change, the use, reuse and misuse of resources. Current priorities include green hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation, state-level modelling for energy and climate policy, energy finance, clean transportation and electric mobility, decentralised renewable energy for livelihoods, clean air, and the circular economy of water. We also convene governments, businesses, researchers and civil society.

Our collaborative approach enables us to influence decision-making and inform public discourse, ensuring that the transition to a sustainable future is equitable and inclusive. We work with governments at the state and national levels, and with public and private institutions. We invite partners and organisations to join us in fostering innovation and resilience in these interconnected domains.
