Circular Connect

Driving local action for global change
For all of us to survive and prosper, we need new, intelligent urban systems that create safe, affordable and resilient cities with green and culturally inspiring living conditions. Through Circular Connect, we aim to improve knowledge-sharing, story-telling and community connection, to increase awareness of SDGs within cities and share ideas about how they can be incorporated into existing and future structures, working toward long-term systems change. We aim to make it a whole-of-society approach. Starting with the involvement of our educational institutes and engage across sectors building strong corporate partnerships to advance the SDGs locally. It is a truthing ground for practices, partnerships and programs that support SDG localization. by creating a model for cities and small communities across India.

The scope of the operations is to include not just stakeholders from India but also from other countries. As the projects gain momentum and the participation grows, international schools and corporates shall get more involved on the agenda and so will the global organisations. The genesis of the initiative is to drive synergies of corporates and the schools to drive forth the agenda of circular cities.
