Description:
The India Just Transition Summit organized by WRI India, along with Just Transition Research Centre, IIT Kanpur, is a conference and research symposium that brings together thought-leaders, policymakers, experts, researchers, civil society, and community representatives to deliberate upon the key just transition risks and opportunities as India charts its energy transition.
