WELCOME TO THE CLIMATE PROJECT FOUNDATION
OUR CLIMATE IS CHANGING, SO SHOULD WE | TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Human caused climate change is one of the biggest, most pervasive threats in the world and South Asia is amongst the most vulnerable region to impacts of climate change. Now, the onus is on us to act and mitigate the impacts of climate change for a better future for the upcoming generations. We believe that the simplest path to act on climate change is by collective committed actions however small. We have strategically aligned all our initiatives in order to create awareness, mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change and create leaders of the future who will be taking the baton fighting the cause. Our programmes and initiatives like Green Campus Program, Tree Plantation, Water Conservation, Teachers’ Training Program, all have been developed keeping the same in view.
“Solving the climate crisis is within our grasp,
but we need people like you to stand up and act”

GCP: Campus in Spotlight
The Mann School – A Platinum-Rated Green Campus
The Mann School stands out as a model for environmental responsibility, holding a platinum rating under the Green Campus Program. The school integrates sustainability into all aspects of campus life, from water and energy conservation to waste and air quality management. Key initiatives include rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and swimming pool water recycling. Energy is conserved through solar panels, LED lighting, and natural ventilation in buildings, particularly the eco-conscious Girl’s Hostel. The campus is rich in biodiversity, with a mini forest, orchard, and regular tree plantation drives. Boarding students plant saplings on their birthdays—building a personal connection to nature. The school has banned single-use plastic and manages waste via composting, paper mache from waste paper, and segregation with color-coded bins. Students are also encouraged to reuse textbooks, avoid food waste, and maintain cleanliness. Air pollution is addressed through the use of CNG buses, smokeless chulhas, and a carpooling policy for staff. These holistic efforts not only make The Mann School environmentally sustainable but also nurture a generation of climate-conscious students.
SCAC 2025: Registrations open now!
The Climate Project Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Students’ Climate Action Conference 2025, a flagship initiative under the Green Campus Programme. This unique conference aims to bring together school students from across India to explore, understand, and act on pressing local climate issues. Designed for students aged 12–17 years (classes 6th to 12th), the conference offers a platform to amplify young voices and foster climate leadership at the grassroots level. As part of the competition, participating students will be required to identify a climate-related issue in their school campus or local community, and conduct in-depth research to better understand the problem. This may include surveys, interviews, or community engagement activities. Based on their findings, students will work on implementing a small but impactful solution, and submit a 3-minute video documenting the process and outcomes of their action. Guided by a coordinating teacher, this experience will empower students to think critically, act locally, and share their stories of change. To recognize outstanding efforts, students from the top 5 schools in each of the 5 zones of India will be selected and rewarded at special zonal conferences, celebrating their commitment and contribution to climate action.

CLIMATE ACTION STORIES
8800 KILOMETRES ON BIODIESEL
By CRL Avinash Narayanswamy
Worldwide, biodiesel has slowly but surely gained importance as a green alternative to petroleum diesel & is thus being accepted as an environmentally friendly fuel. However, in spite of closely being related to petroleum diesel in terms of physical & chemical properties, biodiesel continues to be sidelined in many parts of the world & especially in India mainly due to various reasons such as pricing, availability & warranty on the engine & other parts of the car not being covered when switched to biodiesel from petroleum diesel.
