Supported by the US Consulate General, Kolkata, Project Climate Wall explores the role of youth in generating creative climate advocacy with a focus on the Sundarbans, West Bengal. Between 2022-2023, students from Kolkata, the East Kolkata Wetlands, the Sundarbans, and Bangladesh developed a physical and virtual climate wall.
Children and students from the Hingalganj district of the Sundarbans built the physical wall. It required a hands-on approach of studying the mangroves. Some of the work they did involved collecting seeds from indigenous plants and sowing them along the river to prevent erosion and damage during future cyclones. Students from Kolkata developed the skills to create a virtual climate wall with the goal of increasing climate awareness through art.
