Treating climate as business opportunity can drive growth: CEEW CEO

Ahead of the COP31 climate conference and stepping into his new role, the Council on Energy, Environment and Water's chief executive discussed India's path forward on climate change and the green transition.

The CEEW leader emphasized that reframing climate action as a business opportunity rather than solely an environmental burden could unlock new growth avenues. This approach, he suggested, aligns economic development with climate commitments, creating pathways for sustainable expansion.

With COP31 on the horizon, India's climate strategy and green transition initiatives remain central to global climate discussions. The CEEW's perspective reflects growing momentum in positioning climate action as an economic driver for the country's development agenda.
