IIT Delhi School of Public Policy has a research project, in collaboration with colleagues from the IIT Delhi Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, to explore the science-policy/knowledge action relationships in the climate and air pollution arenas. This research is intended as an exploration both of how scientific knowledge can be translated into application in policy or on-the-ground implementation, or vice versa, how practitioners’ needs can be used to shape the scientific research agenda. Towards fulfilling the objectives, the project is hiring researchers to explore the role of anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change in extreme weather events over India. The exciting new field of event-attribution enables climate scientists to attribute the causes as well as apportion economic and other 6 costs of such events. The project will also be exploring the changes in risk from extreme weather and climate events in the near- and long-term future
