Step Up - Policy Action Program

The Step Up program is an opportunity for Mumbai youth to contribute towards building a livable Mumbai for all. We believe that young people's leadership, representation, and solutions can help in progressive and inclusive policy solutions for the city. Participants will get a chance to learn from experts specialising in climate communications, policy action, governance, and sustainability.

Why should you apply?

Through activity-based workshops, storytelling and stakeholder conversations, participants will develop knowledge and skills that will prepare them as future climate champions. At the end of the program, select fellows will get a chance to design solutions and engage in a dialogue with the decision makers.

The program will host workshops with the following components:

Global, national, state context of climate action
Mumbai’s vulnerability to climate impacts
Role of policy in climate adaptation and mitigation
Maharashtra’s vision on climate action
Role of youth in climate action
Climate Justice as a pillar for solutions
Moving from individual actions to policy action and systemic change
Legislative avenues for citizen participation in policy solutions
