Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Verdant Sphere helps India and other countries to foster climate stability, live in harmony with nature and forge a pollution-free future, supporting the achievement of all 17 SDGs.

Verdant Sphere - your partner for people and planet

We works in partnerships, and explains why it is crucial that funding provided to us keeps pace with the growing expectations placed on the organization to deliver results in support of people and planet.

Ensuring the resilience of our planet through conservation and restoration

Despite numerous government pledges, biodiversity loss is accelerating in all regions of the world. Our work on healthy and productive ecosystems cuts across a number of initiatives

Conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends

Alongside communities, we’re urgently clearing obstacles and finding solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises.

Every acre we protect and every river mile we restore begins with you. Your support helps us take on the dual threats of climate change and biodiversity loss across countries and territories.

Nature Needs You

  • How Climate change affects people and wildlife. Why Climate action is urgent?

    We know why our climate is changing, in some cases faster than people and wildlife can adapt. We release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels while at the same time destroying carbon absorbing nature, such as forests, seagrass and salt marches.

    Global temperatures have been rising for over a century, speeding up in the last few years. We have already warmed by 1.2 degrees since pre-industrial levels. Internationally it has been agreed to cap warming at 1.5 degrees, the limit at which we can halt the worst impacts of climate change. 

    We know what needs to be done. We need to cut man-made greenhouse gas emissions drastically, phase out fossil fuels and move to renewable energy. We need to be more efficient and use less energy, and we need to tackle deforestation and eat less meat. 

    we would still reach 2.8 degrees. And we are a long way off those promises being turned into reality.

We're Protecting Our Planet's Iconic Animals

We’re working to stabilise and increase populations of many of the world’s most iconic and threatened species.

Nearly 500 Protected Areas (PAS) in India cover about five per cent of the country's land area. One of the goals of this impressive protected area network is or should be to ensure that it encloses viable populations of all species that are known to occur in India. It is impossible to evaluate whether the network meets this goal because of several reasons. Population sizes of most living organisms are very poorly known. Besidesthe number of species known to exist in India is so enormous that it is impossible to make such an evaluation.

What we propose to examine is the extent to which endangered mammals, reptiles and amphibians in India are represented in at least one protected area.

India’s leadership in climate resilience is rooted in its agrarian landscapes

Scaling up adaptation for farmers is a human, environmental, and economic imperative.

Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing humanity, with far-reaching and devastating impacts on people, the environment, and the economy. And its effects are worse on the most vulnerable population — the farmers, pushing them in and out of poverty.

Farmers depend directly on healthy ecosystems for their livelihoods and with climate change, it is their vocation that is at risk. Farmers don’t have the same capacity to adapt.

We have a moral responsibility to respond in a way that improves the lives and livelihoods of farmers. And thus, adaptation is most necessary as it not only helps farmers avoid future losses but drives positive economic benefits. Climate change is increasing food prices, reducing food availability and the incomes and food production of smallholder farmers. It is also putting their food and nutritional security at risk as food is unavailable and unaffordable for them.

Asia’s massive renewable energy potential can boost green hydrogen production

A shift to clean energy in South Asia, one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, will be instrumental for the world to achieve its Net Zero targets by 2050. 

The region has a solar energy potential of 939 gigawatts (GW), wind energy potential of 1,289 GW and hydro energy potential of 350 GW. However, only 3.8 per cent of solar, 3.05 % wind and 18% of hydro potential has been developed so far.

Although several countries in the region are identified as extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, energy is still primarily produced using conventional sources in South Asia.

India’s transition to green economy can create more jobs

India can shift its economy from brown to green by assisting in the reduction of climate change risk.

India’s past and current production and consumption patterns have resulted in excessive greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide.

The accumulation of carbon dioxide has impacted the country’s temperature levels. The rise in temperatures disturbs the socio-political-economic equilibrium, including living standards, productivity, refugee crisis, mass migration, etc.

Global financial institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development committed over $130 trillion (40 per cent of global financial assets) to align with the Paris Agreement’s climate goals in 2022.
