While many regard the fight against climate change a modern movement, the truth is that it finds roots in our belief system. Addressing the same, Katha and the Indian Youth Climate Network will host a webinar titled Reshaping the mental model for eco-friendly decision-making. Katha founder Geeta Dharmarajan will narrate the story of how the Indian culture has been shaped by the environment and talk about how the first step to improving planetary health is changing mindsets.
