ABOUT SYMBIOSIS CENTRE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY
About SCCCS
The future of human societies will be decided on how well we adapt, mitigate and create resilience towards the changing climate. For a megadiverse nation like India, strategies of climate adaptation and mitigation require a deep understanding of bio-geography and socio-cultural diversities. Even as we learn from other nations, Indian researchers must engage in research which considers this diversity.
Institutions within the Symbiosis International University (Deemed university) have the competencies needed to embark on interdisciplinary research, create effective learning programs, and engage in advocacy on climate action. We encourage associations and collaborations which are aimed at action research, project implementation and community participation.
