About this Opportunity

The Centre of Excellence for Sustainability & Climate Action is launched under C-CAMP’s Bio for Climate Initiative, in collaboration with Ashraya Hastha Trust (AHT). The CoE is envisioned as an integrated platform to identify, nurture, fund, mentor, deploy, and scale bio-based climate solutions.

The programme focuses on innovations at the intersection of climate change with environment, healthcare, and agriculture, leveraging deep biological sciences to address root causes of climate change while mitigating its impacts on societal well-being.

Key focus areas include:

  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and carbon burden through biotechnology
  • Enabling climate-resilient and climate-friendly healthcare systems
  • Promoting climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture

Through investment, incubation, mentoring, validation, deployment, and scaling support, the CoE aims to catalyse biology-led innovations that strengthen climate resilience in India and beyond.
