As the world recovers from COVID-19, governments dealing with its aftermath and short-term fixes to boost the economy may prevent us from addressing longer-term risks like climate change. A study published in the medical journal the Lancet predicts 500,000 adult deaths caused by climate change by 2050, including 135,000 in India alone. The truly global nature of the COVID-19 crisis is forcing us to recognise that we are all in this together. This session will cover the following topics:

What is India’s climate change story so far?
Where do we stand vis-à-vis India in a post-COVID-19 world and what in particular can be done in respect of the built environment when it comes to sustainability and climate change
Why philanthropy is so key to addressing the crisis?
What can the UK and India do to tackle the climate change crisis in both countries and globally.
