[Thematic Report] Environmental Jobs in India

by Khushi Chindaliya | 02-02-2021 04:35



Growing up, I saw people in my city organizing themselves to pick up waste on the sea coast each weekend. I saw people holding informative sessions regarding the health of our environment and designing art exhibitions to creatively represent that immediate actions are crucial to protect our planet. I saw the nature club of my city protecting and preserving our local lake and its wildlife. (I have attached the picture below). I saw young people who empowered themselves through education and created companies to promote sustainable alternatives (changing our clothes to face climate change, converting plastic to grease etc).

Looking at these situations, I realized that we can bring a change if we want. Our individual actions can create a ripple effect. We can save our planet - the Mother Earth - together. I understood that collaborating our efforts can help us in bringing a change. 

India being a huge and a diverse land provides various environmental job opportunities. These jobs range from the caretakers of the city who keep the city clean and take care of the plantation on the roads to environmental lawyers who fight battles each day to create a sustainable world. Innovative ideas are actually being implemented, such as carbon credit, in big urban cities. Carbon credit is a tradable certificate or permissions obtained for the right to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or other harmful greenhouse gases. It is a monetary means to assist green companies and restrict industries that harm the environment.

I strongly believe that green innovations and their effective implementation can accelerate the process of creating a greener planet. At the same time, I think our individual actions can pool into a larger narrative (the narrative of creating a green and sustainable world).
