We are gearing up for The Kochi Coastal Collective at Fort Kochi Beach, bringing together 100+ student leaders from five Kochi schools for a morning of action and learning. Hear from Dilip George, Dean and Principal of Global Public School, Kochi, our host school, on why this initiative matters. A collaboration between Pupil Leaders Action Network (PLAN) and CSE's Marine Marshals programme, the event will take students beyond a beach clean-up. By sorting the litter they collect, they will explore what ends up on our shores, understand the problem of marine litter, and discover how they can be part of the solution.

क्या अल नीनो आपके गांव, आपके शहर और आपके आसपास के इलाकों को भी प्रभावित कर रहा है? क्या आप इसके असर को महसूस कर पा रहे हैं? और सबसे अहम, इन बदलावों को वैज्ञानिक नजरिए से कैसे समझें? इन्हीं सवालों के वैज्ञानिक जवाब तलाशने, मौसम संबंधी घटनाओं और समस्याओं की बुनियादी पहचान करने तथा जलवायु परिवर्तन की बेहतर समझ विकसित करने के लिए, हिंदी पत्रकारों के लिए एक विशेष मंथन वेबिनार आयोजित किया जा रहा है। 📢 आज जुड़िए विज्ञान और पत्रकारिता के इस संवाद से और समझिए कि अल नीनो, बदलती जलवायु और मौसम की चरम घटनाओं का हमारे गांवों, शहरों, खेती और जनजीवन पर क्या असर पड़ रहा है। यहां रजिस्टर करें: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

Winter is almost here, and so is bad air. But are we paying enough attention to construction dust? CSE’s new report, Dust Mitigation Guidelines for Linear Construction Projects, highlights why dust from roads, metro lines, pipelines and sewer networks needs a different approach to mitigation. Nida Maryam explains five steps from the report to make dust control more targeted and effective. Watch now. Get the copy of the report here: cseindia.org/dust-mitigation…

📢 Happening tomorrow! What does marine litter mean for ocean life, and what can we do about it? We are inviting students and teachers from coastal regions to join an interactive session with @Sajan John of the @wti_org_india. Drawing on his field experiences in marine conservation, he will explore how marine litter affects aquatic life and ecosystems. The session will also launch The Marine Pitch, a student contest inviting teams to identify a real marine litter problem and pitch creative, practical solutions.

On October 29, CSE’s Water Programme brought together over 35 stakeholders for a roundtable on decentralised wastewater treatment and bulk reuse. The discussion brought government representatives, technology providers, resident welfare associations, academics and decentralised sewage treatment plant (DSTP) operators into the same room to explore the challenges, available technologies and practical solutions for scaling up wastewater reuse. Representatives from agencies including DPCC, @CPCB_OFFICIAL, the Odisha Water Supply and Sewerage Board and @DelhiJalBoard, alongside technology providers such as DiaKi Axis, eGreen and @TellusHabitat shared perspectives on the way forward. The session opened with @Swati13488 presenting CSE’s experience on the ground, setting the stage for a discussion on how decentralised systems can contribute to more effective wastewater management and reuse. Convened by @Suchak2001 and @lakewarriors from CSE’s Water Programme, the roundtable aimed to identify potential solutions through collective discussion and exchange.

सूखा सिर्फ बारिश की कमी नहीं है, बल्कि इसका असर खेती, जल संसाधनों, ग्रामीण आजीविका और खाद्य सुरक्षा पर भी पड़ता है। ऐसे में सूखे की सटीक और तथ्यपरक रिपोर्टिंग के लिए जरूरी है कि पत्रकार सूखे की निगरानी की प्रक्रिया, उपलब्ध आंकड़ों और जमीनी हकीकत को समझें। इन्हीं पहलुओं पर चर्चा के लिए डाउन टू अर्थ हिंदी अपने पत्रकार प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम ‘मंथन’ के तहत एक विशेष वेबिनार आयोजित कर रहा है। इस वेबिनार में पत्रकारों को बताया जाएगा कि देश में सूखे की निगरानी कैसे की जाती है, सूखे से जुड़ी खबरों में डेटा का प्रभावी इस्तेमाल कैसे किया जा सकता है और इस विषय की रिपोर्टिंग करते समय किन महत्वपूर्ण पहलुओं का ध्यान रखना चाहिए। सूखे को समझें, आंकड़ों को खबर से जोड़ें और अपनी रिपोर्टिंग को बनाएं अधिक सटीक और प्रभावी। यहां रजिस्टर करें: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

We are heading to Fort Kochi Beach, and we are bringing a wave of young changemakers with us! On November 2, 100+ student leaders from five Kochi schools will come together for 'The Kochi Coastal Collective', a mega beach clean-up followed by hands-on activities and learning about marine litter. Students will also sort and audit the waste they collect to find out what is washing up on our shores, which kinds of litter are most common, and what this tells us about pollution along our coast. A collaboration between the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and PLAN (Pupil Leaders Action Network), the event is part of CSE's Marine Marshals programme, under the Green Schools Programme, which empowers schools in coastal India to take an active role in understanding and managing marine litter.
