We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
Overview
The Center on Global Energy Policy is committed to independent and nonpartisan research that meets the high standards of academic integrity and quality at Columbia University.
What We Do
We advance smart, actionable, and evidence-based energy and climate solutions through research, education, and dialogue.
Our Team
Meet our staff and senior energy experts from government, academia, industry, and nongovernmental organizations.
Mission
The India Program at the Center on Global Energy Policy supports India’s energy transition through collaborative research within the University, as well as with Indian think tanks and academics working on energy and environment issues.
Research Themes
Two issues that have motivated a slew of transformative policies and actions in India over the past decade are eliminating energy poverty and decarbonization of the fossil fuel-dominated energy mix.
Understanding these two challenges and prospects for success can increase the effectiveness of policymakers and other actors in their actions, as also help inform the broader global community of India’s energy priorities and policy choices.
The latter is necessary to understand whether national and local energy sector priorities in India align with the global direction needed to achieve an efficient transition to a low-carbon world, and what that implies for an equitable energy consumption basket and global carbon budget.
Program Activities
The program is anchored around the semi-annual Columbia-India Energy Dialogue. The New York edition focuses on the Energy in India report summarizing the current state of play in the country and its likely trajectory, helping inform the global community of energy sector developments and priorities in India.
The New Delhi edition would deploy the substantial expertise from the Center and the University to assist India in meeting its energy priorities by presenting actionable policy proposals on a new theme every year.
Apart from the two flagship reports anchored around the Columbia India Energy Dialogue, the Center would continue to publish reports, academic papers, blog posts, factsheets, and podcasts on relevant energy policy issues in India.
In 2021, India emitted 2.7 billion metric tons of CO2 or 7 percent of the global total, ranking third globally.

CGEP provides independent, balanced, data-driven analysis to help policymakers navigate the complex world of energy — how to provide billions more people with reliable, affordable, secure access to energy supplies, enable more rapid rates of economic growth, and sustain the planet.
To meet this goal, we produce cutting-edge analysis; convene leaders from finance, industry, government, research firms, think tanks, NGOs and academia; and inform these communities and the public about the events, trends, and policy options facing the global community.
