In an era where the impacts of climate change are increasingly visible and urgent, empowering the next generation to lead climate action is more critical than ever. Knowledge to Action: Empowering Youth Climate Innovators is a collaborative initiative by HCLFoundation and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), implemented under “Harit”, HCLFoundation’s flagship climate action programme.
Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, with cities emerging as magnets for growth, jobs, and opportunity. India, now the most populous nation, is witnessing a surge in urban population and infrastructure demands. As urban areas expand, emissions from sectors like transport are rising rapidly, threatening local air quality and public health.
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), in partnership with the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB), Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC), and other local stakeholders, is implementing an initiative to plan and develop Clean Air Zones (CAZs) in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP).
Strengthening India’s Innovation Ecosystem: The National S&T Survey
The National Science and Technology (S&T) Survey is a flagship initiative designed to systematically map the resources fueling India’s research and development (R&D) landscape.
Youth from across the country joined together for the 5th Edition of Youth Climate Conclave (2024 – 25), which was held on 02 – 04 March 2024 to discuss and deliberate on the most pressing issues related to climate action.
The development of a detailed CAZ (clean air zone) plan would focus on measures related to traffic and transportation (such as pedestrianization, cycle tracks, and EV mobility), urban planning (land use plans, heritage conservation), emission control, air quality monitoring and dust control.
