A number of programmes are in the pipeline. Details of a few are listed below. For more information please contact us.

Parliamentarians and Climate Change:

A one day training programme is currently being designed by LEAD India to create awareness among decision makers on Climate Change and its specific environmental and socio-economic impacts on India. Apart from information sharing, the module will also look at policy implications of Climate change as well as share best practices from around the world. We will also discuss how best to implement the governments’ new Action Plan on Climate Change at the grassroots level.

Multimedia pack for schools:

Aiming to create awareness and foster a sense of

responsibility among children towards their environment, LEAD India is currently undertaking the designing and development of a multimedia pack to supplement the prescribed syllabus of environmental education in schools.

Africa-India Dialogue on Climate Change:

The purpose of holding this dialogue is to discuss and share best practices in the field of climate change adaptation and mitigation. The dialogue will bring together stakeholders and specialists - including governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), business representatives and academics from both countries to facilitate comprehensive discussion which will include actions on climate change, technology, CDM and climate change policies. The dialogue will bring together politicians, civil servants, researchers, business-representatives,civil society actors to debate the future of climate protection.

Youth Outreach Programme:

The aim of this outreach programme is to help build future citizens who are aware, sensitized, knowledgeable and passionate enough to become effective agents of change. The main focus of this programme is to encourage children to take part in activities which would help them understand in the larger context of sustainable development issues such as Climate change, Global warming, Carbon footprints and offsets, Interdependence of species, Conservation of flora and fauna, Satisfying needs not greed and other such issues in a ‘fun’ way so that they may internalize these concepts without the baggage of technical jargon that often accompanies them.

Ecotourism and Community Based Tourism:

Another project in the pipeline is to develop ecotourism and community based tourism in both Goa and Bhutan. In Goa we will focus on providing alternate livelihoods to communities that have been traditionally engaged in mining as these mines are soon to be closed. Apart from community representatives, this workshop will target a multi-stakeholder group including existing businesses in tourism, arts and crafts retail, mining representatives, NGOs etc.

In Bhutan the objectives will be to create awareness, appreciation for the protection of natural and cultural resources among both villagers and visitors; to develop a model for learning how to successfully apply the community tourism approach to Bhutan's unique landscape and culture; to provide the rural community with tangible benefits through training,

education, improved infrastructure and facilities. Through this programme we aim to enhance Bhutan's reputation for high value and low impact tourism.

National Youth Summit on Climate Change:

The aim of the summit is to provide a platform for youth to define climate change from their viewpoint and to engage in dialogue on possible solutions through steadfast and resolute action, in order to fight climate change and to propagate the values and principles of sustainable development. LEAD India is helping to organize this in partnership with the Indian Youth Climate Network and a number of other organizations. Another objective is to create a national youth charter/declaration on climate change that will be representative of Indian youth’ aspirations . LEAD India will take this charter forward through our network.
