The Centre for research on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy and Environment (CECFEE) is dedicated to in-depth economic research and analysis on the interlocking issues of climate change, energy security, environmental protection and food security in India.
Currently, there is a critical need for more capacity in economic modelling of energy and climate change that is needed for long-term planning by the government and for background in international climate negotiations.
CECFEE is located in the Indian Statistical Institute , Delhi which has the top-ranked research department of economics in India with outstanding Master’s and PhD programs in economics.
Vision: CECFEE is conceptualised to build a critical mass of research manpower with high-quality research infrastructure on a permanent basis and to provide sound inputs to the policy-making process. It also intends to reach out to a wider network throughout the country as well as link up with researchers in other countries.
CECFEE joined the Environment for Development (EfD) network in 2017.
