Global Economic Growth in the past half century has come at irreversible costs to the environment. The proposed project seeks to understand the challenge that policy makers face to avoid irreversible consequences in resource development and environmental degradation, while building evolutionary resilience capacities. The study attempts to explore the applicability of the concept of reversibility in combination with the concept of evolutionary resilience and in particular with its aspect of polycentric governance to develop normative policy analysis and responsible policy making tools. Empirically, the study will explore three key initiatives of the India-UK cooperation for Environmental Development (the "India-UK Roadmap for 2030"): Urban Development, Sustainable Finance, Solar Energy. This study proposes that reversibility should guide policy making processes and be institutionalised through a model of polycentric governance. The key research questions are: 1) What is the process through which the initiatives of Urban Development, Sustainable Finance, Solar Energy have emerged and developed within the India-UK Roadmap for 2030? 2) What role is played, if any, by thediscourses of reversibility and evolutionary resilience in the above three initiatives? 3) What model of governance institutions would be best suited to the adoption of reversibility and evolutionary resilience? Is polycentric governance the mechanism by which reversibility and evolutionary resilience can be institutionalised? The study will utilise three methodological approaches: (a) document analysis (b) the genealogical study of the emergence and development of the thematic divisions of urban development, sustainable finance, and solar energy and (c) interviews with the key actors involved in those initiatives.

在过去的半个世纪中，全球经济增长以不可逆转的成本为环境。拟议的项目旨在了解决策者面临的挑战，以避免在资源开发和环境下降中造成不可逆转的后果，同时建立进化弹性能力。该研究试图探索可逆性概念与进化弹性概念的适用性，尤其是其多中心治理方面，以制定规范政策分析和负责任的政策制定工具。从经验上讲，该研究将探讨印度-UK环境发展合作（“ 2030年印度-UK路线图”）的三个关键举措：城市发展，可持续财务，太阳能。这项研究提出，可逆性应指导政策制定流程，并通过多中心治理模型进行制度化。关键的研究问题是：1）在印度-UK路线图中出现和开发了城市发展，可持续金融，太阳能的倡议的过程是什么？ 2）在上述三个举措中，具有可逆性和进化弹性的作用（如果有的话）？ 3）哪些治理机构模式最适合采用可逆性和进化弹性？多中心治理是否可以制度化可逆性和进化弹性的机制？该研究将采用三种方法学方法：（a）文档分析（b）对城市发展，可持续金融和太阳能主题分区的出现和发展的族谱研究，以及（c）与参与这些倡议的主要参与者的访谈。
