Project presentation
Our ambition is to spark cross border collaboration & investment towards transformative solutions to South Asia’s environmental crisis: melting glaciers, unprecedented floods causing economic losses, and unbreathable air.
Long standing political conflict in the region has stymied joint solutions to these shared challenges. Being convened by world leading peacemakers, the platform’s USP is its ability to work across the India-Pakistan border & across diverse sectors.
Innovative projects have been identified to meet the platform’s criteria for scale, impact, & mutually reinforcing outcomes for peace & the environment: (i) climate finance for flood relief & climate adaptation (ii) transformative biomass solutions (iii) climate compliant agriculture across the Punjab border. The platform will build confidence across conflict divides and inspire creative environmental diplomacy globally.
