The Center for Research on the Economics of Climate, Food, Energy, and Environment (CECFEE), based at the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi, conducts in-depth economic research and analysis on the interconnected challenges of climate change, energy security, environmental protection, and food security in India, with a strong emphasis on gender empowerment. It was founded by Prof. E. Somanathan (Head, CECFEE and Professor Economics and Planning Unit, ISI Delhi). 

CECFEE has built a dynamic network of researchers working to bridge academic research and practical policymaking. Our work spans themes such as clean energy access, carbon pricing, air pollution, climate and health, nutrition, gender and labour markets, groundwater sustainability, and human–wildlife conflict.

Established as a center of excellence on July 24, 2020, CECFEE serves as the EfD India center of the Environment for Development Initiative and hosts the Climate Policy for Development (CPfD) program. CECFEE also hosts the India Sustainable Growth Hub (ISGH) which was established as a collaboration between Center, the International Growth Centre (IGC) & the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
