The climate crisis is a profound health crisis, and its impact is felt most acutely by marginalized communities across India. Escalating heatwaves, frequent flooding, and persistent air pollution don't just damage the environment; they directly harm human health, leading to a rise in respiratory illnesses, water-borne diseases, and mental distress. This is not just an environmental issue—it's a critical matter of climate justice, as those who have contributed the least to global warming are often the ones who suffer the most severe health consequences.

We believe the most powerful agents of this change are young people. They possess the innovation, energy, and passion to make a difference. "Harit Setu," or "Green Bridge," embodies this idea—it is a bridge connecting the threats of climate change with the solutions we need, and it is a bridge built by our youth.

Our organization is built on the belief that young people are not just the future; They  are the key to a healthier and more resilient present. We are here to give you the tools, knowledge, and platform to become a leader in climate and health adaptation.

The Problem: Climate Change and Our Health

The health impacts of climate change are here.

• Physical Health: Rising temperatures can lead to heatstroke, while floods spread diseases and destroy homes. Air pollution from wildfires and fossil fuels worsens asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

• Mental Well-being: The stress and anxiety of a changing planet, known as "eco-anxiety," are real. Experiencing natural disasters can also lead to lasting trauma.

• Health Inequities: The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect poor and marginalized communities, who have limited access to healthcare and adaptive strategies.

The challenge is clear: we need to build communities that can not only survive these changes but thrive in spite of them. And that's where you come in.

Youth-Led Adaptation

Adaptation means building resilience. It's about taking practical steps to protect our health and well-being from the climate impacts we are already facing. We empower you to take the lead through our three-part approach:

1. Learn & Understand

We offer workshops, webinars, and expert sessions to help you understand how climate change affects health. From recognizing the signs of heat stress to learning how diseases spread, we give you the scientific knowledge you need to be informed.

2. Act & Innovate

This is where the real change happens. We support you in designing and implementing local adaptation Approach . This could be anything from:

• Community Health Hubs: 

• Green Infrastructure:.

• Awareness Campaigns: 

3. Lead & Advocate

Youth voice has power. We train youth to become an advocate for change. We’ll show youth how to work with local leaders, health professionals, and policymakers to push for climate-smart policies that protect  community's health.

We believe that youth  have  energy, ideas, and leadership, we can build communities that are strong, healthy, and ready for whatever comes next.
