Heat Intelligence for Driving Action: Worker Protection to Resilient Cities

On September 10th, 2026, the India Energy & Climate Center (IECC) at UC Berkeley hosted the online launch of SHRAM (System for Heat Risk Assessment for Manual labor) and CHAITRA (City Heat Action Intelligence and Risk Atlas) — two decision-support tools and accompanying reports designed to strengthen heat resilience planning across India.

Electrifying Industrial Heat in India

On June 3rd, 2026, the India Energy & Climate Center (IECC) at UC Berkeley and Energy Innovation hosted a webinar on industrial heat decarbonization in India. Authors from both organizations present the report’s key findings — including why solar-powered electric heat is already cheaper than oil and gas for Indian manufacturers, and what policies can accelerate the transition. The presentation was followed by an engaging open Q&A session.
