Advancing Inclusive Green Economy Learning at India’s Premier Civil Service Academy

This builds on PAGE’s broader, system-wide capacity-building approach in India, spanning digital platforms, institutional partnerships, and thematic programming. Across key public institutions such as LBSNAA and the National Academy of Indian Railways (NAIR)—critical entry points for reaching public officials at scale—PAGE has worked to embed green economy principles across sectors and levels of governance. Notable examples include the creation of a customized environmental sustainability training programme embedded at NAIR in 2020, as well as a training on Sustainable Public Procurement currently under development for Indian Railways officials. 

Through a combination of institutional partnerships and digital platforms—including online training modules hosted on the National Urban Learning Platform (NULP) that have reached over 160 urban policymakers—PAGE has supported both in-person and online learning aimed at shifting mindsets on circular economy, sustainable urban development, and green growth. These efforts align with ongoing work to integrate Inclusive Green Economy approaches into civil service training curricula and sectoral programmes, including foundational and mid-career training at LBSNAA. This work shapes how future administrators approach development planning, public spending, and climate resilience.
