Climate Action

The Climate Action vertical works to intensify actions around climate change mitigation. It offers a range of nature-based solutions anchored with the local communities through proven and time-tested models.

These models have been validated by international bodies for carbon sequestration projects and they address a range of issues of concern for both rural communities as well as corporates who have an obligation toward emission offset.
