Grants

2023 (2 years)
$450,000

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is a think tank that works to accelerate solutions for a stable climate, sustainable resources, and fair economies. IISD’s Energy Program specializes in shifting public expenditure away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy, including through a flagship program, the Global Subsidies Initiative. This award enables IISD to break new ground by establishing a model to support the shifting of financial flows away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy and just transition at a state level in India. It is focused on Chhattisgarh, a state whose coal deposits make up 16 percent of the country’s total, and where IISD believes there is a good opportunity for informing an effective policy discourse. Through this award, IISD engages with key state policy actors and state-level civil society voices, to prepare relevant research and policy guidance that offer detailed, equitable, and solutions-based recommendations to state policymakers.
