Sustainable & Resilient Communities: Climate, Environment, & Net Zero Targets

The Sustainable and Resilient Communities Working group, one of the 14 working groups formed under Civil 20 India 2023, is focussed on the areas of Climate, Environment and Net Zero Targets. The Working Group (WG) quintessentially addresses the current critical issues related to climate resilience and social justice, environmental sustainability, net zero emission management, and showcases the importance of compassionate approaches for building sustainable and resilient communities. Under the Indian Presidency of the G20 2023, this WG on SRC under Civil 20 remains committed to advocating evidence-based policy recommendations and will strive towards the realisation of the Indian C20 motto – “You Are The Light”.

C-Chaupal

Compassion Driven Chaupal

C20 India 2023 Working Group on Sustainable and Resilient Communities has been spearheading Compassion Driven Chaupals (C-Chaupal) initiatives across rural India.

The concept of C-Chaupal was launched to organize inclusive and participatory meetings of all sections of rural communities without discrimination of age, gender, caste, class, and income levels in several communities across India to bring out the voices and concerns of the villagers to the C20 and G20 leadership.

Message from the Chair, C20 India 2023

Our Inspiration

Nature is so out of balance these days,” Amma said. “We see very clearly how the climate is changing. In the non-rainy season, it often rains very heavily. The summers are getting hotter and longer. In some places where it has never snowed before, suddenly snow is falling. Crops are failing. Trees do not bear fruit. We need to proceed carefully with the awareness that each of us has a responsibility to protect Mother Nature. From planting trees and recycling to carpooling to not using wasteful plastic—each of us must do our part and pray for God’s grace. These days it seems everyone is aware of their rights, but no one is aware of their responsibilities.”
Amma,
Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi ❤️
