Reporters - Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)

About the Organization:

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research organisation based in New Delhi.

CSE researches and communicates the urgency of development that is sustainable and equitable.

We believe that the scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. This is what we aim to do.

The challenge, as we see it, is two-pronged. On 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, the opportunity to bring about change is enormous by regenerating the natural capital. But it will need a commitment to reform in the way we do business with local communities.
