The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in Delhi, India was established in 1974 to deal with "the immense and acute problems that mankind is likely to be faced with in the years ahead...on account of the gradual depletion of the earth's finite resources...." Its broad mandate, calling upon it to "establish a center or centers for scientific research in all such branches of knowledge as ... would promote the material and industrial welfare of India" helped it to evolve into one of the largest independent research organizations in the developing world working on natural resources management and sustainable development.

The V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation supports a capacity-building project in environmental resource management as a collaborative exercise between the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and TERI. The Yale/TERI collaborative program includes collaboration on curriculum development, faculty, and student exchange as well as research.
