Climate change is the buzzword, now that its impacts touch our skin and not be read and forgotten anymore. Climate forums and its derivatives are doing their part through advocacy formalizing norms under SDGs and imparting regulations to achieve time-bound results. Post-industrialization climate change impacts are here to stay at least in our times and immediate beyond. The fear of the next generation is not hatred, color, or weapons of mass destruction, but it's the ability of survival or adaptation to climate change externalities. Unfortunately, there is no more time to ponder or deliberate, but only actions precise at minuscule. The impacts of climate change are knocking at our doors, seeking immediate actions without any option. This knock is justice implemented by the courts of nature, seeking acts of penance. In the world we live, where everyone is given a brief stint of time to perform and actions are compelled rather not by reasoning, it is our humble thought to initiate drivers on climate change to bring together thoughts of wisdom, align policies judiciously, and derive measurable regulatory norms between all stakeholders.
Mission
A mirror to reflect the impacts of climate change across our nature, while to stage discussions and deliberations to evolve mitigation measures, echoing actions of success and becoming a catalyst in policy making through advocacy.
Vision
A platform to share stories of success in combating climate change, through interventions at last mile, helping to improve value chain propositions under existing policies. Become a repository of data with respect to climate change impacts, adaptation benefits and mitigation measures. To set guidelines for policymakers, academicians and climate activists based on the outcome of proactive studies, pilots, research outcomes and public surveys. To accelerate the fight against climate change through natural methods, by analyzing the nature at close context, to integrate practices for sustainable urban and rural living.
Two Degree Control Pvt. Ltd.
Two Degree Climate Control Pvt. Ltd. established in 2023 is working in waste water with focus on treating high and low intensity gray water by natural methods. The filter beds are locally selected in combination with plant species to suit effluent parameters. We also work with hotels and restaurants to address kitchen waste water, treating them with combination of anaerobic and aerobic methods. The technology is leased from CSIR, a Government of India entity, patented for its treatment method. In a very short time we have used the reed-bed based treatment system to be proven successful for industrial effluents, laundry waste water, kitchen wash water and livestock wash water. For restaurant and cafeteria which are space constrained, our ‘Tower Bed Reed System’, innovatively proven can treat gray water up to 1000 liters in vertical standees. We are run by a group of professionals committed to waste management, while making sure we don’t generate more carbon in the name of recycling. Thus our products and projects speak sustainable practices through the life-cycle chains.
