Harsha Saxena chaired a roundtable in Goa jointly organized by IICSR and GCCI, focusing on bridging the global gap in climate‑technology adoption.
A roundtable convened in Goa brought together corporate social responsibility experts, climate‑tech innovators and policy makers to discuss the persistent lag in adopting climate‑focused technologies worldwide. The session was chaired by Harsha Saxena, who highlighted the need for coordinated action between the private sector and civil society to accelerate deployment of proven solutions.
Organisers IICSR and GCCI framed the dialogue around three core challenges: financing mechanisms, regulatory bottlenecks and capacity building in emerging markets. Participants examined case studies where technology transfer succeeded and identified gaps that still hinder broader uptake.
The roundtable concluded with a set of recommendations aimed at creating incentive structures, streamlining approvals and fostering public‑private partnerships that can scale climate‑tech solutions across regions. Stakeholders pledged to reconvene later in the year to monitor progress and share best practices.
Harsha Saxena emphasized that closing the adoption gap is essential not only for meeting India’s climate commitments but also for positioning the country as a hub for sustainable innovation.
