Tamil Nadu’s journey towards sustainability: Linking climate action and SDGs

Tamil Nadu stands as one of India’s most dynamic states. It is a powerhouse of industry, agriculture, and culture, yet it is also among the most climate-vulnerable. With its vast coastline stretching over 1,076 km, fertile plains, bustling urban centres and concentrated industrial hubs, the state finds itself on the frontline of climate change. Rising seas, recurring cyclones, searing heatwaves, erratic rainfall and crippling water stress are no longer distant threats but lived realities.

Engaging young minds: Teaching climate change in Indian schools

Climate change is no longer a tale of polar bears and faraway glaciers. It is the heatwave scorching our summers, the flood water rising in our streets, the drying borewells in our villages and the poor quality of air we breathe. Yet for many young minds across India, this urgent crisis remains hidden in the margins of textbooks reduced to a chapter in science or a passing reference in social studies, easily forgotten after the exam.

Environmental Sustainability - Phase X

Jan 2025 - Dec 2025

Despite India having many climate change initiatives it faces several hurdles in achieving successful climate action with inclusive adaptive and mitigating measures. Whether it is grid infrastructure and stability or policy and regulatory gaps or environmental and social concerns, addressing these challenges requires a mix of technical innovation (or assessing the technical innovation in terms of environmental safeness), supportive policies, and stakeholder engagement to ensure balanced and sustainable climate action.

and possible mitigating solutions to encourage a shift towards alternatives with fewer negative impacts or greater environmental benefits. This can be achieved through Improved access to safe, sustainable, reliable and affordable energy which can contribute significantly to the improvement of livelihoods in these communities. At the same time, opportunities for income-generating activities linked to the provision of energy services and technologies can enhance incomes and build resilience.

Survey questionnaire to assess teachers knowledge on climate change

Author

The above questionnaire was used to assess teachers' knowledge of climate change before and after the deployment of the curriculum and to measure their changes in attitudes and behaviours related to environmental sustainability. Further, the questionnaire on teachers' reflections was documented at the end of every lesson to learn the effectiveness of the lesson plan and the challenges the teachers had to face in completing each unit.
