The Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI), an education and training initiative and innovation centre of CSE, began operations in 2017 to communicate the science, complexity and politics of environment across India, South Asia and the world. The Institute has been designed to look for and find appropriate and affordable solutions to some of the most pressing problems faced by the Global South - from climate change, air pollution and urban mobility to water and waste management and
environmental degradation.
Named after CSE’s late founder-director Anil Agarwal, it seeks to build a constituency and cadre of knowledgeable, skilled and committed environmentalists – from among decision-makers, regulators, field-level practitioners, students, civil society groups, journalists, lawyers, and concerned citizens.
