Climate Education
Making climate issues easier to understand and discuss.
Work
Story. Work. Impact. Evidence.
Every theme below follows the same order: what happened, what was done, what came of it, and the document or photograph that shows it.
Climate action
Climate Action That Starts With People
Climate change is not only an environmental issue. It affects livelihoods, health, food security and the opportunities available to young people.
Abhishek's climate work focuses on climate education, youth participation, climate justice and stronger representation of Global South perspectives.
Youth Participation
Creating opportunities for young people to take part in climate conversations and action.
Climate Justice
Bringing questions of equity, representation and Global South concerns into climate discussions.
Climate work on the ground
Action for Climate Empowerment, Indore
The SDGs Work Report describes work on all elements of Action for Climate Empowerment: climate education and awareness, training, public participation and cooperation with government and civil society in the city.
Rural climate awareness sessions, a youth-led community action team of five to eight members, seminars in schools and colleges, cleanliness drives, tree plantation and the 'Run for Nature' on World Environment Day are documented with photographs.
Youth leadership
Young People Should Have a Place at the Table.
Young people are already contributing to their communities. The need is to give them better opportunities, knowledge and platforms.
Abhishek's work focuses on youth participation, leadership development, capacity building and meaningful engagement in public life.

Youth parliaments and summits

Public policy
What people told us, and what we recommended.
The COY19 outreach programme ran a national survey with 351 responses on how climate change is felt in daily life. Rising utility bills, health costs, water scarcity and crop damage were the most reported impacts.
The outcome report recommends climate literacy for underserved communities, climate-resilient public policy, and region-specific action for flood-prone, drought-prone, urban and mountain areas.
In 2025, as Deputy Campaign Director of the SDG 5 Global Youth Voices for Gender Equality Delegates Campaign, he produced a bilingual advocacy pack and a formal letter to the UN Secretary-General on meaningful youth participation.
