PROMOTING BIODIVERSITY ON CAMPUS

GREEN CAMPUS PROGRAMME

“Green Campus Program enables schools and colleges to conserve natural resources like water and biodiversity, optimize energy efficiency, manage waste and educate about climate change and sustainability while addressing well-being of the students as compared to conventional educational institutes.”

Green Campus Program (GCP) is a flagship program of the Climate Project Foundation. In our vision and mission of creating a sustainable tomorrow, GCP serves as an

effective transformative catalyst. As the name suggests, the objective of the program is to transform the conventional campuses into green campuses.

We believe that the climate crisis needs long-term and highly impactful solutions, and there is no better tool to resolve it than education. To inculcate the values and bring about behavioural changes in our future generations making them more planet-sensible, we are setting examples right there in the campuses through physical and behavioural changes.

TESTIMONIALS

Sr. Shanta Xalxo

St. Teresa's Girls' H.S.School, Darjeeling

Since our school has been a part of the Green Campus Programme, we have been seeing positive changes in the school surrounding as well in the mindset of staff, students and guardians alike. The school Campus is greener, cleaner and more sustainable. Students are engaged in hands-on activities like gardening and maintaining Multi Resource Facilities for waste management, making eco bricks etc. Our school has also been able to engage other schools and community in carrying forward this mission. I am grateful to the School Green Campus Team for their endeavors.
