Environment and Climate Change
Under our Environment and Climate Change Vertical we work with children, youth and citizens and experts in different fields to take a proactive role to address climate change and other pressing issues plaguing our environment through programmes, campaigns and activities.

The network engages a huge network of stakeholders like doctors, youth from school and colleges across non-attainment cities of West Bengal and Jharkhand to fight air pollution.
