A Joint Collaboration of Indore Municipal Corporation, Energy Swaraj Foundation, the People and Organizations of Indore
An initiative aims to combat climate change through a dual approach of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy conservation in the cleanest city of India, Indore . By raising awareness and fostering sustainable practices across the city, the Indore Climate Mission (ICM) seeks to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and safeguard the environment for future generations.
The ICM aims to instill a sense of responsibility and urgency in every citizen of Indore. The mission's objectives are:
Understanding the lifecycle of energy production and its environmental impact - Become Energy Literate
Encouraging simple yet effective energy-saving practices
Mobilizing Educational institutions, businesses, government offices, and households to participate
Addressing climate change is a long-term endeavour, but the ICM aims to make significant strides within one year. The key targets include:
Energy Literacy Campaigns: Conducting multiple campaigns to educate citizens about energy consumption and conservation.
Electricity Reduction: Achieving a 10% reduction in electricity usage across the city, translating to a substantial decrease in carbon emissions.
Implementing initiatives such as wearing non-ironed clothes every Monday, reducing unnecessary travel and promoting energy-efficient appliances, etc.
The anticipated outcomes of the ICM include:
Increased Awareness among Indore Citizens
Behavioural Change: Greater participation in energy-saving practices, leading to a reduction in wastage, around 10% (800 million kg CO2 emission) can be saved.
Climate-Conscious Community: A shift towards more sustainable lifestyles and increased environmental responsibility.
Role Model City: Establishing Indore not only a leader in India but a global leader in climate action, setting an example for other cities to emulate.
Volunteers have the potential to lead a global public movement that spreads the appropriate awareness about climate change and encourages large-scale climate corrective actions.
