Climate action is not just a global imperative; it is deeply interwoven with national policies and the leaders driving them. At OnePointFive Collective, we believe that understanding the people shaping climate-related decisions is just as critical as understanding the policies themselves. That’s why we’ve created "Who Leading", a series profiling the ministers who head key government departments in India that hold significant responsibility for climate action.
This series offers an in-depth look at individuals like Dr. Jitendra Singh, Minister of Earth Sciences, who oversees critical research on climate systems, Bhupender Yadav, leading the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change & Manohar Lal (Ministry of Power) amid a global on-going climate action movement.
These leaders, alongside others such as Hardeep S. Puri, steering the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, G. Kishan Reddy (Coal & Mines) and Pralhad V. Joshi (New & Renewable Energy), shape the trajectory of India’s commitment to energy transformation and its climate goals.
Additionally, Dr. Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) , stands at the helm of nuclear energy—a critical element in India’s clean energy mix.

Why does this matter?
Policies, funding, and action plans are a reflection of their leadership, decisions, and priorities. By understanding who they are, their backgrounds, and their visions, we empower ourselves to engage more effectively with climate issues, advocate for better policies, and appreciate the complexities of governance in the fight against climate change.
"Who Leading" is not just a series—it’s your gateway to understanding the movers and shakers behind India's climate action story.
Join us as we unpack their roles, achievements, and how their decisions influence India’s path toward a sustainable future. At "Who Leading", we are committed to keeping this series up-to-date and will monitor these positions closely, ensuring you’re informed about any new leaders shaping India’s climate action journey.
