Mapping philanthropic pathways for a Just Transition in India
We partnered with ClimateWorks Foundation to map how Just Transition is understood across government, think tanks, philanthropies, and civil society in India. Through a landscape study spanning textiles, AFOLU, and the built environment, we identified high-leverage, underfunded entry points and the structural gaps in shared vocabulary, community data infrastructure, and inclusive transition planning.
