International Forum for Environment, Sustainability & Technology (iFOREST) is an independent non-profit environmental research and innovation organisation. Started by a group of renowned scientists and environmentalists, it seeks to find, promote and scale-up solutions for some of the most pressing environment–development challenges. It also endeavours to make environmental protection a peoples’ movement by informing and engaging the citizenry in important issues and programs.
The integrated approach is focussed on solutions for ensuring affordable and green energy, and a just transition away from the fossil-fuel economy. Improving energy efficiency and promoting innovative low-energy technologies is also a key focus of our work. Our research and engagement cuts across local, national as well as international levels to propose ideas and push for actions that are practical and collective.
Sustainable consumption and production lie at the heart of pollution and waste management. Our programmes focus on managing waste and pollution through better governance, improved capacity and smart and affordable technology. We also strongly focus on citizens’ awareness and engagement on lifestyle changes, as we believe change should begin at home.
