The narrative surrounding climate change is heavily politicized and intertwined with the interests of big corporations and government agendas; making it a daunting subject to fully grasp. This complex web of political and economic influences often leaves individuals feeling overwhelmed and powerless. Despite these challenges, the signs of climate change are unmistakable. We witness rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and an increase in anomalous natural disasters; all of which indicate that the situation is worsening. Acknowledging the urgent need for change is no longer an abstract concept but a personal responsibility we must embrace.

To address this pressing issue, an upcoming workshop in Bengaluru aims to demystify climate change and empower individuals to take meaningful action. Organized by Shravan Shankar, a renowned Climate Finance Expert, the workshop promises to go beyond buzzwords and clichés. It will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how climate change affects us and explore practical ways to create impact at both personal and societal levels.
