Divecha Centre for Climate Change
The Centre was established in 2009 with a financial contribution from Arjun and Diana Divecha
and the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. The primary goal of this
centre is to understand climate variability and climate change and its impact on the
environment. The centre has 12 associate faculty members, 26 Grantham Research Fellows, 6
interdisciplinary research scholars and 54 staff members.

Our vision: Impact on society and policy implications.


Areas of interest include: Climate change and policy, glaciers and water security, air quality and
health, sustainable water future, renewable energy and policy, hydro-meteorologic extremes,
monsoons-agriculture-food nexus and sustainable forests.
 The centre hosts South Asia regional office
of the international “Future Earth” and the
“Monsoon Asia Integrated Research on
Sustainability (MAIRS)”.
 We undertake outreach activities and
training programs to create awareness
among people and policy makers.
 Faculty at the centre are often consulted
by various ministries and departments for
advice on issues related to climate change.
