CSTEP marries very wellthe policy needs with the capacity to provide top-level advice."- Leonardo Lacerda, Former Director, Environment, Oak Foundation "Two key values I have witnessed at CSTEP are integrity and humility, because of which they have managed to build very good long-term relationships."- Dr Samar Verma, Former Programme Manager, IDRC "CSTEP is a good and trustworthy partner. They understand the multi-faceted and interconnected challenges that we face and have used their abilities in economics, science and IT to inform the policy world in which we work together."- Krishan Dhawan, Former CEO, Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation “I would like to congratulate CSTEP for completing the source apportionment and emission inventory studyfor Bengaluru. I would also like to thank Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation and Bloomberg Philanthropies for funding this important study. Results and interventions suggested by CSTEP will be important to frame targeted control measures that can be implemented in a phased manner so that Bengaluru city can be removed from the non-attainment category framed by NCAP. I request CSTEP to help us with the financial estimate of the control measures, considering the resource availability.”- Shri Vijaykumar Gogi, IFS, Former Chairman, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) "Bengaluru faces the risk of deterioration in air quality resulting from rapid urbanisation, accompanied by a massive increase in transportation, construction, and industrial activities.I congratulate the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy for conducing the timelysource apportionment and emissions inventory studies, which highlightways to achieve cleaner air through data-centric, cost-effective, and pragmatic policy interventions."- Dr Anshu Bharadwaj, CEO, Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation Trending SAFARI tool is now part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC's) Assessment Report (AR) 6 scenarios database.
