Climate Change News and Views are all over the place. We see it on the news, read it in the papers and are bombarded with information about it all over the net.
When large amounts of
information and opinions are coming at you from all sides, how does one pick
and choose the most reliable and relevant information to follow and ingest? How
best would one, who is interested in understanding the concept of
sustainability, decide on where to even start looking?
Many of us at Climate
Miles Pvt. Ltd faced the same problem when we first became part of the movement
to bring the knowledge and understanding of Sustainability to India. India is
still a pre-schooler in the world of understanding Sustainability but hopes to
graduate soon and play with the big boys in the near future. This precisely is
what Climate Miles Pvt. Ltd has been trying to achieve since the year 2009 when
we were just a small carbon foot-printing
firm which was incubated at CIIE-IIM-A (Centre
for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship – Indian Institute of Management
- Ahmedabad). Climate Miles
Pvt. Ltd is built on a learning → adapt → implement foundation and this
continues to be our value system and will be throughout our evolution. Through
this process we were able to go forward and think beyond just carbon footprint
and explore the broader world of Life-Cycle Thinking and Sustainability.
However first, the few
of us who have started the learning need to communicate the knowledge by bringing
forth the true players in this epic game.
This Blog will over the
coming weeks, bring you closer to the primary scientists, academicians,
celebrities and even businessmen (through blogs and articles) who are all
trying to bring about clarity on this vital subject and sharing their opinions
about relevant past, present issues as well as those that may arise in the
future. The need for bringing them together is to educate and inform as well as
prevent the mixed reviews that exist due to most often, wrong or incomplete
information.
