Currently over 400 researchers are working with WRI India in our offices at Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. About the Project: Background and objectives - MSMEs and their workers are the backbone of our economy, and while they are known to be resourceful and nimble to work within their resource constraints, they are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate change poses risks to MSMEs, including damage to physical assets, infrastructure services, increased financial risks, regulatory uncertainties, market fluctuations and supply chain disruptions. This is potentially devastating to economies and livelihoods. Furthermore, Indian MSMEs find it difficult to access finance and build climate resilience. Their response to the climate crisis is also plagued by limited awareness, regulatory challenges, and complex policy norms.

To catalyse systems, change with a focus on circular food systems in India, we also focus on developing equitable strategies to reduce food loss and food waste and mitigate climate impacts. With broader systems change and food systems perspective, we work with diverse stakeholders like governments, businesses, civil society partners and farmer producer organizations to inform and develop land use strategies based on robust evidence and analysis to build the resilience of local communities to mitigate climate impacts, bridge capacity gaps, monitor progress, and inform a pathway to building a restoration economy for people, nature, and climate. Job Highlight: Landscape approach to restoration is gaining momentum in India as a strategy that delivers multiple benefits, including food and water security, biodiversity enhancement, job creation, livelihood improvements and climate change mitigation and adaptation. To achieve impact at scale, restoration efforts need to be funded by philanthropy, CSR, bilateral grants, and private finance. This requires a blended finance approach to mitigate the risks inherent in this early sector, and to ensure available finance is appropriate for restoration business models. Restoration businesses deliver a range of products (e.g., fruits, bamboo) and services (e.g., water, carbon, biodiversity). Housed under the FLW program, Land Accelerator India is a catalytic initiative to strengthen India’s restoration economy by supporting early-stage entrepreneurs - or ‘restoration champions’ - pioneering innovative land restoration solutions. By bridging capacity gaps and improving access to finance, this initiative aims to scale market-driven solutions that restore degraded land, enhance livelihoods, and contribute to India’s climate and development goals.
