Pioneering Telangana towards its net-zero ambitions through strategic initiatives that encompass sustainable urban development, large-scale plantation (planting 340 million in next 2 years, i.e., 2025-26), ecosystem restoration, the electrification of mobility and the advancement of renewable energy solutions.
Telangana, India
Planting 340 million in next 2 years, from 2025 to 2026.
We are working at locations across Telangana including rural, urban and tribal areas.
The process of identifying intervention locations begins with state departments setting annual tree plantation targets aligned with restoration goals. Officials carefully select appropriate seedlings, such as flood-resistant species, and apply innovative techniques like the Miyawaki method to optimize biodiversity and ecosystem recovery.
Selected sites that are degraded and need restoration and then they are registered and monitored online using geotags, ensuring transparency and progress tracking. By making these sites publicly accessible, the process fosters collaboration, enabling private sector participation through CSR initiatives to amplify restoration efforts.
The pledge is open for engaging with different kind of partners like, private sector, philanthropies, expert think-tanks/bodies, etc. The partners may be providing, finances, expertise, tech, knowledge, support on community engagement or supporting in policy draft/formulation etc.
