What You’ll Gain:

1. A clear picture of today’s climate trends and mounting risks across India and South Asia

2. Why the climate emergency demands fast, decisive action—especially in the Global South

3. A look at radical, science-backed solutions that could reduce risks and buy us precious time

4. HCI’s grassroots action plan to drive change where it matters most

5. How you can get involved and help turn the tide

This will be an interactive, plain-English webinar—no jargon, no lectures. Just real talk about what’s happening, what’s possible, and what’s next. Bring your questions. Invite others who care about climate, equity, and the future of our planet.

Let’s break the silence around climate intervention—and spark a new wave of action.
