Solutions to climate change already exist and that implementing them also provide benefits for all aspects of development. We are looking for your support to change this reality and create, communicate and celebrate the solutions to climate change through the Indian Youth Climate Network’s Climate Solutions Project, culminating in the nationwide Climate Solutions Road Tour.
Indian Youth Climate Network was founded to give a voice to the next generation of India in the climate dialogue. It is our generation’s choice to take action and to create the future we all wish to see. The greatest climate solution is our human capacity to take action.
Through raising the profile of existing climate solutions in India, IndiaClimateSolutions will become a resource for multiple Indian stakeholders on climate change best practice and a catalytic tool for accelerating the national and international climate response. Potentially this model could be expanded to other countries to become a global network of positive collaboration.
It will provide:
A means to accelerate the uptake of climate change best practice and innovationacross sectors.
A means to showcase to the international community the work that India is doing, a potentially strategic negotiating tool for the Government of India in international fora.
A forum to question, discuss and commenton India's climate strategy and how to capturelow carbon opportunities most effectively.
An opportunity to demonstrate and encourage leadership on climate change from the Indian nation.
Strategy
A two-part strategy will be utilised to achieve these objectives:
Creation of the www.IndiaClimateSolutions.com website. This will be a highly dynamic and interactive website for sharing information on climate change best practice in India. It will comprise a database, an interactive forum and resources for creating new climate actions and felicitating successful solutions. The website has been structured into create, communicate, and celebrate sections.
Development of an outreach and engagement strategy around the core website content, including IYCN talks (to schools, communities, businesses and policymakers), competitions, awards, and creative dissemination (eg articles, films, performances, artwork etc), to encourage innovation, raised awareness, and solution uptake (Create, Communicate and Celebrate).
