Land | Life | Livelihood
Aram Thinai is a platform for people, especially youth to reimagine our collective futures by working on the intersections of climate change and local livelihoods, and eco-social justice. We aim to catalyse the eco-social change required for the transition towards Localised Climate Resilience.
We define Localised Climate Resilience as a pathway for climate action which is based on local landscape and community needs and rooted to their socio-cultural wisdom i.e. local knowledge, local livelihoods and local economy. In the current centralised socio-political scenario, local governance and local action are vital for resistance against any act of jeopardising the shift towards Localised Climate Resilience.
Our Programmes
Chennai is one among the most climate change vulnerable cities in the globe. The Climate Resilient Chennai programme aims to streamline and catalyse the transition of Chennai towards becoming a Climate resilient city.
The Youth and Civic Engagement programme focuses on education and narrative building among youth and citizens through experiential learning platforms and effective communication of nuanced perspectives.
