The CEEW was founded in 2010. The International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG), as part of its ‘Climate Think Tank’ standardised ranking, has rated CEEW as India’s top climate think tank in 2012 and 2013[11]

In August 2014, Prakash Javadekar, the Indian Minister of State for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, released CEEW and WWF-India’s joint report ‘RE+ Renewables beyond Electricity Solar Air Conditioning and Desalination in India’[12]

In 2019, CEEW has over 50 employees including engineer-turned policy researchers, economist-turned policy researchers, social scientist-turned policy researchers, environmental scientist-turned policy researchers and management graduates.

Results of CEEW's research about environmental topics are widely reported in news outlets.[13][14][15] The organisation is also involved in organising conferences about environmental topics.
