Clean Air Project in India (CAP India)

01.10.2023 - 30.06.2027

India is one of the most severely affected countries by air pollution in the world. This project will contribute to India’s new National Clean Air Programme, with the aim to improve air quality with co-benefits on public health, environment and climate change. Capacity building and technical assistance through Swiss expertise will support data measurement and analysis, city level clean air action plans and awareness raising campaigns to take precautionary measures and mitigate air pollution.

Green Electric Mobility (GEM) in India Project

01.11.2021 - 31.12.2025

The transport sector is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. SDC will support India’s efforts to move towards sustainable e-mobility and low carbon development by contributing to an initiative implemented by GIZ. The project will support 8 Indian cities. Swiss knowledge and experience will be shared to promote innovative circular economy approaches for battery lifecycle management and disseminate best practices through national, regional and global platforms.

Strengthening State Strategies for Climate Actions (3SCA)

01.01.2020 - 31.12.2024

Responding to the Government of India’s request for Swiss expertise in disaster risk reduction and water resource management in mountain ecosystems, the project will support the Himalayan States of Uttarakhand and Sikkim to improve resilience against climate change in these sectors. Through relevant Government institutions, the project will build capacities for replication of project inter-ventions in the 12 Himalayan States, support policy uptake and share results regionally and globally. 

Capacity Building for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient City Development in India (CapaCITIES)

16.07.2019 - 30.06.2024

Clean Air Project in India (CAP India)

01.07.2018 - 30.09.2023

India is one of the most severely affected countries by air pollution in the world. This project will respond to a demand for support raised in India’s new National Clean Air Programme, with the aim to improve air quality with co-benefits on public health, environment and climate change. Capacity building and technical assistance through Swiss expertise will support data measurement and analysis, city level clean air action plans and awareness raising campaigns to take precautionary measures and mitigate air pollution.

Clean Energy Policy (CEP)

01.06.2018 - 29.02.2020

India has put forth an ambitious plan for decarbonisation of its economy as part of the post 2020 Nationally Determined Contribution under Paris Climate Agreement. The achievement of these targets needs development of appropriate energy transition in the coming two years (2018-19). This single-phase project will support the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation to setup a Platform which will deliberate on the energy choices and solutions.

Indo-Swiss Programme on Building Energy Efficiency (BEEP)

01.10.2017 - 31.12.2023

Globally buildings account for 35% of energy use and about 20% of GHG emissions. In India, buildings even consume 40% of all energy and cause 40% of CO₂ emissions. Phase 2 of BEEP has shown that 30-45% of energy savings are possible in India with marginal additional costs compared to the current way of constructing. Based on the achievements of the previous phase, Phase 3 will focus on mainstreaming and scaling-up energy efficient and thermally comfortable building design and on promoting the on-site use of renewable energy sources.

Consolidation Local Organic Certification Bodies in Eastern Europe

01.10.2013 - 31.12.2018

Organic is a rapidly growing global business with growth rates in consumption of around 5 to 10% in industrialized countries. For the sound development of the organic sector in SECO partner countries, credible and affordable local organic certification services play a key role.
