About the CLII
Climate & Law Initiative India (CLII) is an independent research platform dedicated to advancing climate governance through legal, regulatory, and institutional analysis. We study the intersections of climate policy, public finance, markets, and state capacity, with a focus on strengthening India’s transition pathways.
Our work spans four core verticals— Climate Finance, Climate Adaptation & Policy, Climate Mitigation & Just Transition, and Carbon Markets. Across these domains, we examine how laws, regulations, and institutional design shape India’s climate ambitions, and how evidence-based research can support more effective, transparent, and equitable climate action.
