Centre for Climate Studies
The Centre for Climate Studies (CCS) was initiated at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, in January, 2012, at the doctoral level as an interdisciplinary program. The mandate of the Centre for Climate Studies is to undertake interdisciplinary research and education to develop a scientific understanding of regional climate change and connect it to its impacts (environment, resources, socio-economic) and effective responses (technology and adaptation).
