Climate Ambassadors Mumbai – Stockholm (a climate education and action project with young people) was a unique project being implemented by Srushtidnyan in association with a Swedish organization called KlimatAktion. The project initiated to raise awareness about the climate issues among the young people of schools and colleges of both cities and villages. The project also intended to build capacities among these young people to take relevant actions as an answer to climate change. The project involved various programmes like capacity building workshops, teachers training workshops, Climate Ambassadors Students Conference, interactive learning sessions on saving soil-water-electricity; plantation campaigns, climate awareness rallies, bio-diversity field studies, waste management, etc. The Indian students interacted and shared their experiences with Swedish students about the activities undertaken on climate issues. Globala Gymnaciet, Stockholm involved in this project from Sweden. College youths from Mumbai and Stockholm also participated in the exchange programme and had exposure visits. There were 40 schools, 4 colleges, 150 teachers and 2500 students from Mumbai and Ratnagiri participated in this project. We continued the concept of Climate Ambassadors to work with teachers and students.
