Conference on Development and energy needs of Global South

Submissions are invited for conference to be held at IIT Bombay on the topic of “Development and energy needs of the Global South: Addressing inequity in climate policy frameworks”.

About Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies

The Centre was set up in 2016 to provide a fillip to the study of Public Policy. Policy Studies is a relatively nascent discipline in India. Given the increasing complexities of the economy, international relations, technology, and governance, it is imperative that this discipline takes firm roots in our polity and society. The academic community has an important role to play in this regard. In setting up this Centre, we hope to make useful contributions to the field of Policy Studies.
