Climate Change Lessons by British Council for Indian youth

On Thursday, the British Council announced an initiative to train the young people and communities of India with the skills they need to become climate resilient and contribute to the country's transition to a net-zero economy.

 The "Climate Skills: Seeds for Transition India" project, which was launched in partnership with HSBC India, is part of the British Council's long-term international effort to establish a global climate skills approach to empower youth, inform decision-makers about alternative climate education strategies, and address grassroots, national, and global climate challenges, according to a statement. 
 

According to the initiative, the goal is to foster collaboration with governments, communities, and institutions to develop real solutions for future generations. The goal is to better comprehend the impact of climate change on all aspects of life and equip them with the skills they need to become climate resilient.

According to the statement, the goal is to directly involve 2,000 adolescents and teach 300 master trainers in India.

The initiative, which runs until February 2026, targets people between 18 and 30 in five countries: India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, and Vietnam.
