The School of Environment and Sustainability brings together academic, research, and practice-based engagements with questions of sustainability and the environment across a wide range of perspectives and disciplines, from law, history, political science, and philosophy to climate science, hydrology, and forestry. This speaks directly to global and domestic policy imperatives: India has renewed its commitment to the Paris Accord, as well as National Missions on Solar and Renewable Energy and the National Action Plan on Climate Change.
Within the degree programmes of the proposed IIHS IOE, the School will be the core location for the Concentrations on Environment and Climate, and Disaster Risk Reduction. The School will also teach courses on ecology and environmental geography, sustainable regions, environmental law and policy, and energy.
