Climate Action & Nature Care

Goal:

To plant 5 million trees by 2030, contributing to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. Create a sustainable green corridor and addressing climate and community needs. We're going to plant and care for these trees such that it helps to reduce the the carbon footprint on our mother earth.

Encourage people to donate generously for tree plantation & its cultivation.
Plant 5 million trees and nurture till it become big
Water Conservation in rural areas
Agriculture water recharging and construction check dams
Solar Grids installation for clean energy

VUF committee working towards achieving the goal :

Climate Action & Nature Care - Achievements

Successfully planted 150,000 trees to date, enhancing green cover and promoting biodiversity.
Climate Action: Trees planted contribute to carbon sequestration, reducing the regional carbon footprint.
Biodiversity Conservation: Focus on indigenous species to restore ecosystems and promote flora and fauna.
Community Engagement: Involved 15,000+ volunteers, including local youth and women, fostering awareness and social ownership.
Water and Soil Health: Improves groundwater recharge, reduces soil erosion, and enhances soil fertility.

Vision:

Sustainability goes to the heart of the Institute's mission, because improving the health of the planet improves human health. Through strategic initiatives, partnerships, and innovative solutions, we aim to drive positive change, foster environmental stewardship, and contribute to the global effort in various areas such as,

Reduce our carbon footprint: Plant 1 million trees
Forest restoration: Adopt 10 large areas for forest reproduction
Reduce, reuse, recycle: Promote these practices to better manage waste
Conserve resources: Conserve energy and water
Use renewable energy: Transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources
Partner with sustainable organizations: Work with organizations that are environmentally sustainable
Go paperless: Reduce paper use

Tree Plantation

Large-scale tree plantation efforts by organizing, supporting, and executing projects that contribute to reforestation, biodiversity restoration, and climate change mitigation.

Mobilize Community Participation through Community Engagement and Volunteer Networks
Conduct Awareness Campaigns
Offer support for planting, maintaining, and caring for trees.
Public-Private Partnerships
Foster Long-Term Sustainability

Check Dam

Building small check dams, which are vital for water conservation, flood control, and sustainable agriculture, especially in water-scarce regions. Here are some key actions we can take:

Assess Water Resources and Site Selection
Support for the construction of check dams
Facilitate Community Involvement and Ownership
Coordinate with Local Governments and Stakeholders
Promote the integration of check dams with other water conservation practices

Solar Grid Installation

Play a transformative role in making villages self-sustainable in energy by supporting the installation of solar grids. Here are several key actions they can take:

Assess Energy Needs and Feasibility
Tailor solar systems to local needs, considering factors like population size, energy demand, available sunlight, and infrastructure.
Solar Panel Installation & Grid Integration
Local Skill Development & Community Involvement
Promote Solar-Powered Agriculture and Livelihoods

Forest Restoration

VUF can play a crucial role in forest restoration by implementing a variety of initiatives that contribute to the healing and preservation of degraded ecosystems. Here are several ways we can make an impact.

Tree Planting and Reforestation - Organize large-scale tree planting campaigns to restore deforested or degraded areas
Community Engagement and Education
Partnering with Governments and Corporations
Funding and Resource Mobilization

Agriculture Water & Soil Health

Play a pivotal role in improving agriculture, water, and soil health by providing education, resources, and support for sustainable practices. Here are several key actions we can take:
