Vasudha Foundation
A leading Indian think tank working on energy, climate, and sustainable development
Problem
India’s carbon emissions are rising rapidly, reaching 2.8 billion metric tons of CO2 in 2022 and projected to reach 7.4 billion tons. The energy sector alone produces about 50% of these emissions.
Solution
Vasudha Foundation advances green hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation and scales energy-efficient technologies. They support state governments in developing clean energy transitions and collaborate with NITI Aayog on national policy.
How They Work
Vasudha Foundation operates as a policy research and advocacy organisation focused on energy transition. They produce in-depth analysis of India's energy policies, engage with government stakeholders on renewable energy targets, and advocate for equitable climate policies that balance development needs with environmental sustainability. Their work spans coal phase-out planning, renewable energy integration, and just transition frameworks for affected communities.
Why We Recommend
Founders Pledge has identified Vasudha Foundation as a high-impact climate organisation because their policy research directly influences India's energy transition decisions. Operating at the intersection of research and advocacy, Vasudha translates complex energy data into actionable policy recommendations that shape national and state-level climate action.
