As part of our commitment to #WorldEnvironmentDay, CII Foundation is dedicating this month to highlighting the partnerships and initiatives that are driving meaningful environmental impact across communities. Creating cleaner air and more sustainable farming systems requires solutions that work at scale and are rooted in community participation. In partnership with @HDFCBankCSR, CII Foundation has been working with farming communities across Punjab and Haryana to promote sustainable crop residue management practices. Through awareness campaigns, farmer engagement, capacity building, and access to appropriate agricultural machinery, the initiative is supporting a transition towards environmentally responsible farming. What makes this effort meaningful is not just the adoption of new practices, but the collective commitment of farmers, local institutions, and partners working together to reduce environmental impact while strengthening rural livelihoods. Together, we are building climate-resilient communities and advancing pathways for sustainable agricultural growth. Through this month-long series, we celebrate the collective efforts of our partners and communities who are helping create a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future. . #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateAction #CleanAir #CommunityForClimate #CIIFoundation #CropResidueManagement #ClimateResilience #RuralDevelopment . @followcii @sunilmisra @PradhanCK @cii4nr @CleanerBetter @moefcc

💕 Valentine’s Day marked the conclusion of Prakriti Prem Diwas Saptah (Nature Love Day week) in Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh). 🌱 Throughout the week, citizens were sensitized at the grassroots about ecology, biodiversity, and our shared duty toward conservation. 🎀🌳 By tying red ribbons around tree trunks under the @RedTapeMovement, people transformed emotion into commitment — a public pledge to protect nature, strengthen green cover, and secure the future. 👬 Heartfelt appreciation to Jan Aadhar Kalyan Samiti for organizing the campaign successfully and turning awareness into community action. #NatureLoveDay #ValentinesDay #RedTapeMovement #CommunityForClimate #GreenResponsibility #ClimateAction #valentines @janaadharnews

🌟 Transforming Villages, Empowering Communities — Learning in the Field Under the Crop Residue Management initiative, CII Foundation, with the support of @JSWFoundation, is conducting hands-on trainings and machine demonstrations across intervened villages in Mansa, Punjab to strengthen farmers’ understanding of sustainable residue management. Through practical, field-based sessions, farmers learn how to operate Super Seeders and Balers, understand their role in in-situ and ex-situ management, and gain clarity on the agronomic benefits of shifting away from stubble burning. These demonstrations, supported by expert guidance and on-ground volunteers, build confidence and make the adoption of cleaner practices easier and more accessible. By bringing technical knowledge directly to the fields, the initiative is helping farmers make informed decisions, reduce burning, and move toward more sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture. 🌱 #FarmerTraining #MachineDemonstration #CropResidueManagement #CIIFoundation #JSWFoundation #SustainableAgriculture #CleanerAir #ClimateAction #CapacityBuilding #CommunityForClimate . @sunilmisra @PradhanCK @tahirmmu @cii4nr @moefcc @AgriGoI

🌟 Transforming Villages, Empowering Communities — Celebrating Champions of Sustainability! As an early partner in the Crop Residue Management initiative, #ApraavaEnergy has been working with CII Foundation since 2019 to spark a long-term shift toward cleaner, climate-resilient farming across Haryana’s villages. Beginning with intensive consultations with district officials, agricultural experts, and farmer groups, the initiative built a strong foundation for community-led action. Over the years, Apraava and CII Foundation have expanded this work across Rohtak, Fatehabad, Sirsa, and Jhajjar — combining awareness campaigns, technical trainings, Tool Banks, field demonstrations, and strengthened farmer cooperatives to promote sustainable straw management at scale. Regular field immersion by Apraava teams, volunteers, and government representatives has deepened engagement and helped farmers adopt practical alternatives to burning, making zero-stubble burning an achievable community movement. Together, we’re nurturing informed, confident, and forward-looking farming communities. 🌱💨 . #ChampionsOfSustainability #CropResidueManagement #ZeroStubbleBurning #SustainableFarming #CleanAirAction #ClimateResilience #CommunityLedChange #CommunityForClimate #CIIFoundation . @PradhanCK @sunilmisra @tahirmmu @moefccgoi @AgriGoI @cii4nr

The Kadle Kai Parishe wrapped up in Malleswaram last week with a proud milestone, a truly plastic-free celebration at Kaadu Malleswara Temple. And now, Basavangudi carries the momentum forward on an even bigger scale. This transition is powered by the people - students, schools, colleges, resident groups, and community organisations who showed up, spread awareness, and made responsible celebration the norm. When a city comes together, even tradition becomes a force for climate action. @GBA_office @GBAChiefComm #KadleKaiParishe #PlasticFreeFestival #SustainableCelebrations #GreenBengaluru #BengaluruClimateAction #ZeroWasteEvents #EcoFriendlyFestival #CommunityForClimate #BengaluruTogether #BasavangudiParishe #Malleswaram #ClimateActionNow #YouthForClimate #EcoChampions #CircularBengaluru #ResponsibleFestivals #GreenCommunities #NammaBengaluru

Not all climate action happens on big stages, sometimes, it begins with a simple coffee and an open conversation. As part of Toronto Climate Week, our CEO @asimjavid6 joined Climate Coffee Connect, hosted by Anushka Sah (Leading Change Fellow) and Tiffany Wong, a welcoming space where sustainability professionals came together to share stories, ask big questions, and build meaningful connections. From the icebreaker laughs to the Big Question Wall, the event sparked conversations that truly matter. Networking with fellow climate innovators, including: Abrar Mohammed,(Programming Volunteer, Toronto Climate Week), Sustainable Finance Program Lead at EnviroMuslims, advancing community education and institutional advocacy for faith-aligned sustainable finance. Sohail Chagani, Financing Associate, Indigenous Opportunities Financing Program, Building Ontario Fund, advancing sustainable finance opportunities for Indigenous communities. At AI Geo Navigators, we believe innovation thrives when technology meets community, and gatherings like this remind us of the power of people coming together with a shared purpose. Because sometimes, the most powerful climate solutions begin with a conversation. #TOCW2025 #ClimateJusticePK #TorontoClimateWeek #ClimateCoffeeConnect #ClimateAction #COP30 #ClimateInnovation #GeospatialTechnology #CommunityForClimate #SustainableFinance #GreenFuture

Dear Bengaluru, Will our lakes glimmer like they once did? Will our trees stretch their branches once again to shade our streets? Will our children breathe clean air and our mornings greet the sound of birds over traffic horns? Today, our silence is lost in honking cars, our cool breeze replaced by smog, and our lakes are memories in concrete. But even now, there’s hope. And that hope is us—The #citizens of Bengaluru. That hope is the Bengaluru Climate Action and Resilience Plan (#BCAP) ! From cleaner air to cooler streets, from rainwater harvesting to cycle-friendly roads, BCAP is not just a plan; it’s our blueprint for survival. It’s a promise that together, we’ll rebuild what we’ve lost. To every citizen of Bengaluru—this is our chance to bring back the Bengaluru we remember… and create a city future generations will thank us for. Let’s act. Let’s care. Let’s reclaim hope through BCAP. @BBMPAdmn @BBMPCOMM @WRIIndia @c40cities #HopeForBengaluru #BCAP #BengaluruClimateAction #NammaBengaluru #SustainableBengaluru #GreenBengaluru #ClimateResilientCity #FutureReadyBengaluru #CommunityForClimate
