This Impact Assessment Report highlights how the pilot phase of 'FOCUS' - the climate change curriculum textbook developed by CAG - was introduced in select schools in Chennai. It measures project outcomes, analysing positive shifts in both students and teachers.

As per a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health study, #ClimateChange & the reduction in pollinators is causing a 3 to 5% loss in the production of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables & nuts. This reduced supply is leading to 1% of all deaths worldwide. 

#RepublicDay - a time to think about how each of us can contribute to the sustainable progress of this great nation and the millions that call it home.

Offering robust, sustainable, safe public transport should be viewed as meeting a basic need. If seen as a profit making service, it will skew priorities and compromise on safety, service quality, and accessibility for all. No well run public transit mechanism makes a profit.

With so many thousands of commuters travelling to their places of work or education each day, companies & schools can set in place policies that keep these numbers down. After all, it is everybody's responsibility to keep our streets safe & sustainable & not just the government's.
