From India, The Nand and Jeet Khemka Foundation, climate change (& social entrepreneurship)

Based in New Delhi, The Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation focuses on climate change. Their website can be found at: KhemkaFoundation.org, click on the "climate change" tab.

"The recognition that climate change could potentially have devastating impacts on the Indian sub-continent as it threatens key water sources such as the glaciers of the Himalayas and annual monsoons, has informed the Foundation’s work in India. To that end, we are working with strategic partners including TERI on creating an integrated Indian Energy and Climate policy. We are also researching the effects that climate change may have on the monsoons and how societies can both stem these affects as well as adapt to them".

The Khemka Foundation is also active on the international scene and is involved with the Climate Change Philanthropy Action Network which we wrote about in an earlier post.

They are also involved with social entrepreneurship.
