CSTEP Showcases Data-Driven Pathways for Climate Resilience and Sustainable Development
As a Knowledge Partner for Bangalore Climate Data Week 2026, the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) organised a session bringing together stakeholders at the intersection of data, technology and policy. The session explored how climate action can move beyond fragmented, sector-specific approaches towards a shared, systems-level understanding.
