About Council on Energy Environment and Water (CEEW):

The Council on Energy Environment and Water (CEEW) is one of South Asia’s leading not-for-profit policy research institutions. The Council uses data, integrated analysis, and strategic outreach to explain – and change – the use, reuse, and misuse of resources. It prides itself on the independence of its high-quality research, develops partnerships with public and private institutions, and engages with wider public

The founding board envisioned CEEW as an India-based, globally engaged policy research organisation which would analyse and advise on critical questions on energy, environment and water, not as disparate issues but as inter-connected concerns. These concerns had local impacts, as well as global ramifications. The Council was founded in 2010 to also serve as a platform for people with different skills to come together, pursue their interests and build careers in public policy.

At CEEW, we are driven by our three core values – Integrated, International and Independent. These values highlight our commitment to building a special institution. We were founded to integrate issues, in research, policy and action. We observe the world as a whole and believe that our international outlook helps us to serve India better too. And our most prized value is our independence. CEEW takes no institutional positions, separates clients from funding institutions, fosters collaboration, and ensures that all research outputs stay internationally relevant.
