A dynamic and flexible organization with a global vision and a local focus, TERI was established in 1974, with the initial focus on documentation and information dissemination. Research activities, initiated towards the end of 1982, were rooted in TERI’s firm conviction that efficient utilization of energy and sustainable use of natural resources would propel the process of development.

TERI strives to sustain a global vision to encompass the universal nature of problems that human society faces today and may face in the future. Its activities move from formulating local- and national-level strategies to developing global solutions. Over the years, TERI's global affiliates and centers have developed strong collaborations with like-minded institutions and important organizations to further the cause of sustainable development.
