Our Work

Delhi Greens gave the city of Delhi its very first green blog! Ever since its inception in 2007, the Delhi Greens Blog has been promoting green events and activities taking place in the city and ensuring extensive participation of the citizens. The Blog uses all forms of New & Social Media to reach out to the masses while reporting environmental news, views and happenings from across Delhi..

The first ever Delhi Youth Summit on Climate was hosted by Delhi Greens at the residence of the first Prime Minister of India at Teen Murti House. Supported by the Dept. of Environment, GNCT and a series of other organisations, the summit brought together students and young professionals from all walks of life to share, discuss and build consensus on the various environmental challenges faced by the city, especially in the wake of a changing climate. Its outcome was a Delhi Youth Charter on climate change.

Delhi Greens also engaged the citizens of Delhi in a public.art.ecology festival themed on global warming and entitled 48°C, the highest recorded summer temperature from the city. The festival was an experimental setup to explore the urban ecology of Delhi through the medium of public art. Delhi Greens wove a green outreach plan around the various art pieces installed in public spaces in the city.

To develop a sense of ownership in the people residing in the National Capital, Delhi Greens has introduced an innovative concept of ‘Urban’ Ecotourism. The objective of these bus-tours is to convert people into responsible citizens by showing them the existing and depleting natural heritage of Delhi which supports and sustains them. It is also a platform to promote Delhi’s environmental history, green spaces and innovative solutions to contemporary issues and problems.

A ‘Save Tiger Save Humanity’ Rally was coordinated by Delhi Greens in the month of July 2009 in the lawns of the Teen Murti House. The rally was part of the 5th Bengal Tiger Consultation and saw participation from renowned conservationists and government representatives including the Environment Minister himself.

In addition, Delhi Greens has played an instrumental role in motivating the youth in schools and colleges, corporate houses and government agencies by delivering talks, presentations and hosting eco-meets. During the media onslaught on the Bus Rapid Transit, Delhi Greens carried out an extensive survey to highlight the real problem of BRT implementation. Promoting other modes of mass transport, including cycles, has also been our central agenda. The Global Day of Climate Action was organized by Delhi Greens simultaneously in Delhi and Imphal. The Save Loktak Lake Campaign also saw full support from Delhi Greens.

As part of the ‘Climate Challenge Initiative’, Delhi Greens was the first organisation to respond to the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). Delhi Greens is also the official nominator organisation of the Sierra Club Livelihoods Awards for Indian NGOs. Delhi Greens has been active in supporting campaigns such for the Yamuna, against the introduction of Bt Brinjal, anti-nuclear protests, for saving trees, forests and tigers.
