While India is working on reducing EE, the world is shifting to #EmbodiedCarbon, which considers the energy source used in production. Ever thought about your building’s EE? Share your thoughts! #EmbodiedEnergy #SustainableBuilding

25% of India’s energy demand goes into making building materials, and construction adds 30% of its greenhouse gas emissions. But it's not just operational energy-#EmbodiedEnergy (EE) matters too! Lower EE means greener materials. More on this tomorrow!

Which of these materials has the highest Embodied Energy?

The panel discussion on #Nilgiris: A Shared Wilderness is now available on our YouTube channel! Featuring the film crew & researchers from IIHS & ATREE, the conversation dives into the Nilgiris, the power of films in driving change, and actionable urban conservation steps.

Whether you're looking to deepen your knowledge, engage in critical conversations, experience hands-on sustainability efforts, or advance your knowledge in climate action, this week's #Greenscene has something for everyone! Stay informed and be part of the sustainable action!

How can design support sustainability? By influencing how products, systems, and environments are created, understood or used. At #BLRDesignWeek, two Small Grants Projects showcased this: The Vrishabhavati Story Project and Greens on Wheels. @atree_org @TrustBangalore

#UrbanWetlands are often seen as vacant land for development, but they are priceless natural assets. As cities expand, integrating wetlands into urban planning and climate adaptation strategies is crucial to reversing their decline. #WorldWetlandsDay2025

Natural #GHGs regulate Earth’s temperature, but excessive emissions are accelerating climate change. #WaterVapor plays a key role—intensifying storms, drying soils, and making wet regions wetter & dry regions drier. With rising GHGs, its impact grows.

#DidYouKnow water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas (GHGs), responsible for about half of the greenhouse effect? Without #GHGs, Earth would be 33°C colder! Rising temperatures increase water vapor, which amplifies warming but doesn’t cause it.

Which is the most abundant greenhouse gas?

Biosphere Reserves are designated by UNESCO, nominated by national governments, and remain under state jurisdiction. By the 2020s, 750+ reserves in 130+ countries covered 5% of Earth's surface, home to 260M+ people. #BiosphereReserves

Which of the following is a required feature of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve?

Last week, at Mount Carmel College, we screened Nilgiris: A Shared Wilderness by Sandesh Kadur, showcasing the beauty of one of India’s most iconic biosphere reserves. Have you watched the film? Let us know your experience! #Nilgiris

We were delighted to interact with Grade 8 students from over 24 schools at the recent Parikrma Science Festival held at @NCBS_Bangalore . This #InternationalEducationDay sharing our hope that learning on sustainability and climate becomes a part of education for all. @parikrma
