About
Plant 4 India is an environmental organisation that develops leaders to respond to the climate crisis in India. It says the environmental movement needs people who can come up with new ideas and take practical action.
Its main programme is the Plant 4 India Fellowship, which it describes as a chance to create positive environmental change. It points out that India is among the countries likely to bear the brunt of the climate crisis. Fellows work with local communities on the ground. One fellow, for example, trained local people in Meghalaya in water conservation and reforestation.
Major Areas of Work
-
Environmental leadership: Building a group of leaders who come up with new ideas and take practical action on environmental problems.
-
Climate action: Responding to the effects of the climate crisis in India, which it describes as among the countries most at risk.
-
Water conservation: Training local communities in ways to conserve water.
-
Reforestation: Working with communities to restore tree cover and degraded land.
Plant 4 India suits early-career people who want hands-on environmental work rather than a desk role. The fellowship places people with communities in parts of India such as Meghalaya. There they train local people and support conservation and reforestation work on the ground. It is a good fit for people who want field exposure to climate adaptation and to build their own experience leading environmental projects.
