NABARD and CEEW Forge Landmark Partnership for Climate-Smart Rural India

In a significant move, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has entered into a strategic partnership with the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) to advance climate-resilient agriculture and sustainable rural livelihoods across India. The two organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last month, aimed at integrating innovation, investment, and institutional capacity to develop scalable models for rural climate action.

This landmark collaboration brings together NABARD's vast financial infrastructure and grassroots reach with CEEW's analytical and policy expertise. Together, they seek to accelerate India's transition towards a green and resilient rural economy by promoting diverse, sustainable livelihood opportunities, including climate-resilient agricultural practices, decentralized renewable energy enterprises, sustainable forestry, and green-linked rural MSMEs.

The partnership will also focus on strengthening digital public infrastructure, enhancing access to innovative financial instruments, and channeling green capital through voluntary and rural carbon markets. By leveraging data, technology, and institutional capacity, the initiative aims to empower farmers, green rural enterprises, and local institutions to thrive in a changing climate.
