📢 Day 1: Sustainability and Leadership Camp—As part of Climate Skills: Seeds for Transition India
TERI, in partnership with
@BritishCouncil and HSBC, inaugurated the Sustainability & Leadership Camp at the TERI New Delhi office on December 08, 2025. Organized under the Climate Skills: Seeds for Transition India project, the five-day camp brings together youth from across India for hands-on learning, leadership development, and capacity-building on climate action and sustainability.
Delivering the welcome address,
@DrVibhaDhawan, Director General, TERI, said, “This programme is essential because climate action begins with each one of us. Your generation is the first to be fully impacted by climate change, and your ideas will shape how India navigates this transition. Every small action matters.”
Following the welcome address, Dr
@sahariadipankar, Senior Director, TERI, emphasized on upskilling the youth, noting, “India’s climate goals for 2030 and even 2070 will only be met if today’s youth take action. The skills you acquire here—and how you share them with your communities—will shape the future of our country. No single institution can solve the climate challenge alone.”
Representing the British Council, Mr Shannon West, Deputy Director India, delivered the special address, highlighting the global significance of climate literacy and youth engagement. “Climate literacy is essential for the next generation, shaping how communities, economies, and societies respond to environmental challenges. These are fundamental skills that young people need to be part of the transition to a greener future, especially those disproportionately affected by environmental changes."
The inaugural session concluded with a vote of thanks by Ms
@Tarumkt, Associate Director, TERI, who reflected on TERI's long-standing commitment to environmental education and experiential learning. Following the inaugural, the Sustainability Camp featured thematic interactions by Dr Livleen K Kahlon, Director, TERI; Dr
@dustin_TSD; Mr Shubham Rai; and Mr Aryaman Tewari.
