Climate change training program at Infosys

BANGALORE, India: The Climate Project - India (TCP-India) held their Environment Sustainability Leadership Program (ESLP) - a training program for civil society at Infosys, Bangalore on August 8.

The program aims at equipping people with inspiring and comprehensive tools for spreading the critical message of climate change.

Through inspired citizens they hope to create a well-informed society that can strive to effectively tackle these environmental issues. To date, Infosys has trained over 250 selected civil society leaders across India, including bankers, teachers, business executives, environmentalists, media planners, bureaucrats and others. 

The Climate Project was founded by Nobel Laureate Al Gore in order to spread awareness about the adverse effects of climate change.

The Indian chapter was established in March 2008. TCP-India uses a variety of media to educate the public about climate change. It also works with businesses, NGOs and educational bodies to communicate solutions and strategies for sustainable development.
The one-day interactive workshop is split into two sessions. The first session explores the science and impacts of climate change, with particular focus on Indian impacts. The second session is led by experts in the various environmental fields and focuses on solutions.

Upon completion of the training, those trained become a part of the TCP-India Environment Sustainable Leaders network, and in turn spread the message to help tackle the problems associated with climate change at an individual level.

Infosys has recognized that climate change is a big challenge that the world is facing and that it is this generation's responsibility to ensure that the world moves along a path that addresses the challenges of climate change.
