SUSTAINABILITY

Indicus seeks to access and provide better information on sources of environmental degradation, their scale and techno-economic solutions which will help improve policy prioritisation. With population explosion and economic growth humanity’s ecological footprint continues to grow. This is despite the ever-increasing realisation that the environment is an integral component of humanity’s story of all-round progress. Whether it is fast-growing countries such as India or smaller and slower-moving economies, the story is similar globally. Indicus seeks to arrest this slide through an institutional approach. Institutions, whether political, social or legal need to evolve quickly and build capabilities rapidly to have a significant impact.

IDEA

INTER-DISCIPLINARY ENVIRONMENT AGENDA (IDEA) ROUNDTABLE SERIES

The IDEA Roundtable is a collaborative space where knowledge creators (researchers), knowledge vendors (media and communication professionals) and decision-makers (from industry, government and regulators) from different specialisations interact and engage on matters of common interest related to sustainability and sustainable livelihoods. The IDEA roundtables are designed to generate multiple benefits that include:

  • Sharing well-researched knowledge and gaps therein, among various stakeholders
  • Building a community and network of professionals that enables leveraging synergies
  • Creating a positive space of understanding and discussion and move away from that of dispute
  • Creating a platform where stakeholders can freely communicate with experts and policymakers
