aims to inspire citizens of the Earth to plant trees to fight climate change and restore habitats. Over 900 million trees have already been planted in India since 2016, many through the efforts of governments, NGOs, corporates, academic institutions, religious groups and individuals. Earth Day Network visits rural regions to help people understand that the fruit trees they plant will shortly bear fruit to nourish their families and also generate income. In Lalitpur alone, one of India's most drough-prone areas, Earth Day Network distributed over 100,000 fruit saplings.<br></p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p><strong>Global Climate Literacy Leading to Stewardship</strong></p> <p>To work towards our pledge to take environmental literacy to 10 million youth by 2026, we conduct several programs. A five-nation EDN youth conclave showcased innovative strategies adopted by them to green their campuses, homes and communities. An eBook Dialogue to Action documents the best practices. Post that, many spin-off events have continued to take place in the participating countries. </p> <p>Earth Day Network, together with local partners, organizes roundtable conferences across the country to examine why environmental education is not leading to environmental stewardship. These are held in metropolitan cities, small towns and in rural areas as well. Participants include educationists, teachers, NGO representatives, government officials and students. The first set of findings were presented to the Hon’ble Minister for Human Resource Development. Our pan India partners include the Scouts and Guides and departments of the National Service Scheme.</p> <p><em>Specific Programs:<br>Morning Assembly: Students across India send in entries of what they do in their school assemblies to focus on environmental issues.

Working with multiple partners, we supported an All-India Plog Run across 50 cities in India that had 2.8 million people participate. Major cleanups have taken place on beaches in Maharashtra that include Mumbai's famous Juhu beach. Major hotel chains have come forward to support our campaign to #RefuseTheStraw. Working with religious heads we have succeeded in getting major sites, visited by millions, declare themselves No Plastic Zones.

There is a threat to their existence and urgent steps are essential to provide them protection. Primates, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, spiders, coral, trees and plants make up close to 1,000 species from India that are placed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List. Many of these are endemic to the land, and if not protected, will vanish forever from the face of the earth. Earth Day Network helps build awareness about the need to conserve the country’s species and supports efforts on the ground.

We also provide them information on possible funding sources to avail subsidies and soft loans. Our ‘Low Carbon Lifestyle’ program focuses on urban youth.

These aim to help them comprehend emerging environmental terminologies leading to their making educated decisions for their constituencies. The workshops get designed to address more than half of their agenda for governance, as each item relates to environmental issues. For example, greening the commons, clean and renewable energies, water, soil, waste management, and chemical-free farming. Environmental issues hold special significance for the people of the Panchayat Raj system since being at the grassroots, they have greater vulnerability to climate change. </p> <p>Designed to reach out directly (or wider via the train-the-trainer model) to the 1.3 million women Panchayat leaders in India, our initial workshops were conducted in the State of Madhya Pradesh, with funding from the BBC Media Center in India. The success of these has led to additional workshops in the states of Assam, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
