Global Conference on Decarbonizing India (GCDI)

The Global Conference on Decarbonizing India, organized by NIT Calicut's Centre for Clean Energy and Circular Economy and Centre for Sustainable Technologies, is a premier forum bringing together policymakers, industry executives, academic researchers, and international thought leaders to advance pathways for achieving net-zero emissions across India's high-emission sectors. As the world's third-largest emitter at 2.9 Gt CO₂ annually, India's decarbonization is critical to global climate targets; the GCDI addresses transformation in power generation, automotive, aviation, steel, cement, and agriculture—sectors representing 70% of India's total emissions. The multi-day conference combines an industrial conclave on production efficiency, renewable energy deployment, and circular economy strategies with hands-on workshops on clean technology adoption, policy design, and investment mechanisms. Attendees include corporate sustainability leaders, energy engineers, government officials, and financiers seeking solutions for India's ambitious decarbonization agenda.
