With a focus on the Indian context, this paper explores the complex relationship between governance, policy creation, and climate change. Our study uses a mixed-methods approach and starts with a thorough analysis of the body of knowledge on India's governance systems, climate change policy, and related topics. We gather primary data from key stakeholders through surveys and interviews with them, as well as through secondary sources like academic journals and government papers, including representatives of civil society and environmental experts. The report examines India's climate change policies in-depth, evaluating their coherence, efficacy, and compliance with international obligations. In addition, we conduct case studies in several Indian states to find best practices and areas where policy implementation needs to be improved. In order to identify important lessons and methods that may be applied to India, comparative study of international experiences in climate governance is helpful. Engagement of stakeholders is a key element that offers priceless insights into the difficulties and opportunities involved in developing and implementing climate policies. To forecast the potential impact of various policy options on India's climate resilience and emissions reduction ambitions, scenario building exercises are used. By utilizing this reliable methodology, our research aims to advance knowledge of climate governance and policy formulation while providing detailed suggestions for improving India's climate governance framework and hastening the country's transition to sustainability and climate change resilience.

The development of the industry stimulates the functioning of environmental projects related to agriculture, renewable energy sources, and environmentally friendly industry. Improving the system of “green” lending in banks contributes to the development of the private sector on new terms, which implies maximum preservation of natural resources and receiving more profit than from traditional projects. When issuing loans for the development of sustainable entrepreneurship, the banking sector seeks to support clients in the transition to sustainable solutions, since the conservation of resources and the creation of energy-saving technologies determine the future capabilities of the state. Green loans are an effective and significant tool for the development of sustainable entrepreneurship in the industry. And the conditions and procedure for issuing them are the mechanism through which the industry develops. Green loans can also be issued for projects of large clients in support of the industry, which meets the requirements of the SEB system. By choosing a green loan to finance a project, the enterprise becomes part of a sustainable management system. The most relevant areas for obtaining "green" loans are: renewable energy (solar, wind, tidal energy, bioenergy; energy efficiency - in relation to district heating or cooling; clean transport - non-fossil fuels or hybrid transport solutions; waste management - energy from waste and methane capture projects, as well as projects to reduce waste through process improvement; emission reduction - reduction of emissions of particulate matter, heavy metals and dioxins through physical, chemical, mechanical means; sustainable forestry - forestry projects with a forest management certificate or equivalent scheme certification; water and wastewater treatment – drinking water production, wastewater treatment, water resources management.

The article examines the model of the quality management system based on international standards ISO 9000 series is generally recognized in the world. It is being implemented at enterprises of all forms of ownership operating in various countries and sectors of the economy. The standard has gained such wide popularity due to its versatility and approaches to quality management, which have shown their effectiveness and efficiency in practice. In the modern world, the basis for ensuring a competitive advantage of an enterprise in the market is the continuous improvement of its management system and products. The ISO 9000 series of standards focuses the organization on continuous improvement and the fullest satisfaction of the requirements of all stakeholders. The quality management system is an important factor of competitiveness. The presence of a quality management system at the manufacturer means, in market language, the ability of this enterprise to meet the requirements of consumers, regulatory requirements from the state and the requirements of the organization for its own activities. In accordance with the General provisions of the standard, this is the main purpose of the quality management system. Modern enterprises operate in a constantly changing market environment. Only those companies that can quickly adapt to changes in the external environment can survive in the competition. In this regard, the quality management system should be flexible and quickly "adjusted" to changes in the requirements of the parties interested in the company's activities. Only such a management system can become a useful tool in the hands of the company's management.
