Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it's a lived reality affecting millions worldwide. Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, characterized by rising temperatures, extreme weather events, melting glaciers, and shifting ecosystems. It poses significant threats to biodiversity, food security, and human health. In response to this growing crisis, young minds at DPS, Pune, are stepping up with purpose and passion. They are engaging in climate change workshops, rallies, and awareness campaigns to understand global environmental challenges and explore viable solutions.

Our exclusively developed School Forest, Miyawaki, serves as a verdant retreat, meticulously nurtured by students and staff. Regular tree plantation drives are organised to promote biodiversity and provide hands-on experience in afforestation.

This initiative serves as a living laboratory where all stakeholders collaborate to teach students the importance of rewilding and ecosystem restoration.

By implementing zero-waste management practices, we recycle biodegradable waste through vermicomposting, producing nutrient-rich compost for our gardens and creating a closed-loop system.

Awareness sessions on waste segregation and reduction are integral to our Eco-Club activities, educating students on the importance of sustainable waste management.

Our campus is equipped with solar energy systems that power a significant portion of our facilities, reflecting our strong commitment to sustainability. This initiative not only reduces our reliance on conventional energy sources but also serves as a daily, tangible example for students, inspiring them to explore and understand solar technology and its role in environmental conservation. Students experience the benefits of renewable energy firsthand and are motivated to think and act sustainably in their own lives.

Millets require less water than other crops and enrich soil health while needing minimal chemical fertilisers and pesticides making them both an environmentally sustainable and economically viable choice. Recognising the importance of millet as a sustainable and nutritious food, we promote its inclusion in school meals and home diets.
