Policy Connections
| Policy | Scope | How this programme connects |
|---|---|---|
| National Mission for Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change Delivery | national | ICAP's Module 3 ecosystem building aligns directly with NAPCC strategic knowledge mission. |
| Baku to Belém Roadmap Advocacy | global | ICAP Module 2 explicitly aims to shift policy — enabling R&D grants for private sector climate startups, blended finance legal frameworks. |
| India NDC 2.0 Advocacy | national | ICAP advocates for India to create a DARPA-equivalent structure for climate tech R&D grants. |
| Paris Agreement Problem | global | Paris Agreement commits India to $10.1T net zero by 2070 — but no domestic mechanism exists to channel risk capital. ICAP exists because of this gap. |
| India NDC 2.0 Problem | national | NDC 2.0 requires climate-tech investment ecosystem. No accelerator-of-accelerators exists in India. ICAP is the answer. |
