About us
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications. We call this knowledge-based activism. We hope we will make a difference.

💧Uttar Pradesh (UP) began its FSM journey with three plants in Jhansi, Bijnor, and Chunar. Today, the state has 59 plants across 56 cities—39 are faecal sludge treatment plants (FSTPs), and 20 are co-treatment plants. - CSE India 📌 How did this transformation take place? 📌What strategies and policies have been implemented to achieve effective faecal sludge management in the state? 📌Public participation was a key tool—how does it contribute? 📌How were sustainability and inclusivity incorporated into the project? You can get answers to all these questions in our upcoming webinar featuring Mr. Hari Prakash Haihyvanshi, who was crucial in driving this impactful change.

"Behavior change" is one of the most frequently discussed yet underutilized tools in solid waste management. We often hear that managing solid waste is a shared responsibility. But when we say "shared" and "responsibility," it’s crucial to understand that this requires human engagement involving people. There is no set formula a single approach to achieve behavior change. There should be consistent and continuous support, adopting diverse strategies and considerable investment for this. The statement ‘Waste Management is a shared responsibility’ also implies whose responsibility is it? Is it the waste generators—essentially all of us? Or does it lie with the waste handlers, decision-makers, and policymakers? Or perhaps it falls on all of us? What’s evident, however, is that investing in behavior change and, ultimately, in people is vital to achieving #sustainable #SWM. Waste generators are equally responsible as waste the handlers. In India, the SWM Rules, 2016 and the municipal bye-laws on SWM, aligned with these rules, clearly define the roles and responsibilities of both waste generators and waste managers. It is the duty of urban local bodies to collect, transport, process and dispose of waste. But, at the same time, citizens are equally responsible for reducing waste generation, start practicing reuse, segregating waste at the source and avoiding indiscriminate waste disposal through burying, burning or dumping. Every waste generator should also pay the user charges for waste management services as stipulated by the concerned local govt. Securing segregation of waste at the source as the core of any behavior change drive would enable the implementation of decentralized waste management solutions and reduce the economic burden associated with waste collection and transportation a city has to bear. It also enhances processing efficiency and diverts waste from landfills, cuts carbon emissions. Additionally, segregating waste streams supports livelihoods for informal waste pickers by providing them with valuable materials to sell. In a 5-day global online training program organized by CSE from Sept. 20th to 24th, '24, I had the privilege of discussing critical issues around behavior change alongside colleagues from Zambia and Tanzania, engaging with over 200 participants from 15 countries worldwide. I extend my sincere thanks to my colleague Shrotik Bose for his invaluable coordination, and to my esteemed colleagues Zephaniah Mugittu and Ms. Margaret Zulu for sharing their valuable experiences during the event. Here is an article I drafted on the prerequisites for ensuring behavior change in cities. https://lnkd.in/dmG8UTVW #behaviourchnage #sourcesegregation #municipalbyelaws Atin BiswasSiddharth Ghanshyam SinghDr. Tribhuwan Singh BishtKaifee JawedAniket ChandraMinakshi S.Centre for Science and Environment, New DelhiGeophrey Zenda Eng.

New Season out! In season 2 of #TheGreenKitchen, we explore the quintessential dal-bhaat, a staple food combination across the country, with Prof Pushpesh Pant, an academician and a food historian who has written extensively on Indian cuisine. We bring to the viewers, stories about the regional favourites in rice, which are not necessarily long grained and aromatic but are still extremely flavourful, and the legumes enjoyed with these varieties.

Air pollution does not discriminate, but social inequities do. While everyone breathe the same air, it is the marginalized—the poor and socially excluded—who face higher exposure to the toxic risk. The ‘not in my backyard syndrome’ and growing urban gentrification are pushing marginalized neighbourhoods to polluted areas with poor pollution-control efforts. This is increasing the disease burden and associated health costs of vulnerable groups. At the same time, the growing stringency of air pollution control measures—including a ban on polluting technologies and vehicles, and shifting of industrial units and waste dumps, among others—often does not include safeguards and rehabilitation measures to protect the interest of the poor and the vulnerable. This adversely affects their livelihoods, social welfare, and coping capacity. The clean-up act is seen more as a social privilege as inclusive indicators are not integrated to minimize the adverse and disproportionate impacts on the lower income and marginalized groups. This is considered ecological and social injustice, and public-health risk reduction has to ensure a just transition. Therefore, the National Air Quality Programme needs to integrate environmental justice and equitable policy principles and adopt targeted monitoring and mitigation strategies to protect the disempowered and marginalized communities in high-risk areas. Globally, air pollution mitigation measures integrate environmental justice programmes to reduce disproportionate exposure among disadvantaged communities and provide equitable protection. Only such an approach to secure good health for everyone can bring down the overall disease burden in the county. In our report, we explore the equity impacts of air pollution in India, policy levers, and the regulatory framework for inclusive clean air action, as well as how an equitable policy action can be framed and implemented.

Gainful Utilisation of Segregated Combustible Fraction (SCF) India is undergoing a significant transformation in its waste management policies, particularly with the momentum gained from the flagship Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) 2.0 that strongly mandates premeditation of legacy waste dumpsites to reclaim the land and divert fresh waste from getting to the landfills. The drive is further supported by massive financial devolution as additional central assistance to share the burden of the state and local governments. The process of biomining the legacy waste, typically consisting of decomposed organic matter, plastics, textiles and other combustible materials, requires a massive ecosystem to deal with millions of tonneof various waste fractions for gainful utilisation, scientific disposal and environmentally sound management. While fully decomposed organic matter or soil-like materials are relatively easy to reuse, gainful utilisation ofsegregated co…
