STUDENTS CLIMATE
ACTION CONFERENCE 2025
The Students Climate Action Conference 2025 awards ceremony brought together young climate leaders from four key states—Odisha, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh, along with participants from other regions through a hybrid format. Held on 22 November 2025, the offline conferences in Bhubaneswar, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Noida served as vibrant hubs of youth-led climate dialogue. Students presented short, research-based videos highlighting local climate vulnerabilities, sparking dynamic discussions with experts and peers. The model enabled rich, ground-level insights ranging from sea-level rise impacts in coastal Odisha to extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and urban challenges identified across Northern and Southern states. The conference culminated in an online national round on 25 November 2025, connecting participants from West Bengal, Kashmir, Telangana, Ambala, and Maharashtra. With 177 schools and 550 students participating across eight states, the event showcased powerful climate storytelling, deep community engagement, and practical solutions proposed by students. More than a competition, the conference became a platform for awareness, collaboration, and youth leadership, demonstrating how informed young voices can drive meaningful climate action at the grassroots level and across regions.

GCP: Campus in Spotlight
The Mann School – A Platinum-Rated Green Campus
The Mann School stands out as a model for environmental responsibility, holding a platinum rating under the Green Campus Program. The school integrates sustainability into all aspects of campus life, from water and energy conservation to waste and air quality management. Key initiatives include rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and swimming pool water recycling. Energy is conserved through solar panels, LED lighting, and natural ventilation in buildings, particularly the eco-conscious Girl’s Hostel. The campus is rich in biodiversity, with a mini forest, orchard, and regular tree plantation drives. Boarding students plant saplings on their birthdays—building a personal connection to nature. The school has banned single-use plastic and manages waste via composting, paper mache from waste paper, and segregation with color-coded bins. Students are also encouraged to reuse textbooks, avoid food waste, and maintain cleanliness. Air pollution is addressed through the use of CNG buses, smokeless chulhas, and a carpooling policy for staff. These holistic efforts not only make The Mann School environmentally sustainable but also nurture a generation of climate-conscious students.
CLIMATE ACTION STORIES
8800 KILOMETRES ON BIODIESEL
By CRL Avinash Narayanswamy
Worldwide, biodiesel has slowly but surely gained importance as a green alternative to petroleum diesel & is thus being accepted as an environmentally friendly fuel. However, in spite of closely being related to petroleum diesel in terms of physical & chemical properties, biodiesel continues to be sidelined in many parts of the world & especially in India mainly due to various reasons such as pricing, availability & warranty on the engine & other parts of the car not being covered when switched to biodiesel from petroleum diesel.
