The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable.
The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival.
The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities.
On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth.
Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications.
Description
Gobar Times is 25. Quirky as ever, smart, zany and even… wise and mature with the years. That is what we like to think, and we hope all our wonderful readers would agree. To mark the occasion, we bring you a two-in-one event. A briefer edition of a MasterClass, but on a burning topic – that of single-use plastics – with Siddharth Ghanshyam Singh. And a celebration of our young friends’ amazing dexterity with the lens –announcement of the winners of our photography contest. We invite you to join us and wish Gobar Times a happy 25th. Looking forward to seeing you all.
25 years of Gobar Times! Join us to celebrate the silver jubilee of our magazine. We have lined up an exciting masterclass on the burning topic of single-use plastics. We will also be announcing the winners of the photography contest on environment.
