The ClimAct Initiative (TCI) is a bridge-builder between climate education, leadership and action. We make climate education holistic, inclusive, and focused on real solutions. TCI's flagship Climate Leadership Programme (CLP) is a powerful launchpad for young people who want to make a meaningful impact in the fight against the climate crisis and kickstart their climate careers. This six-month learning journey is designed to provide young Indians with a foundational understanding of the intersectionalities of the climate crisis, a platform to share ideas with peers and experts, and the confidence to participate in the climate action movement and drive effective change.
This purpose-driven programme empowers the participants to launch their careers in the climate ecosystem through knowledge building, guided mentorship, and upskilling, while also connecting them to our extensive network and community. Moreover, CLP is equally valuable for young professionals seeking to expand their knowledge on climate change. Read more about the programme here.
