MAKE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT A CITY-LEVEL PRIORITY NOW
and recognize that the environment, livelihoods, economy, and social equity are all deeply interconnected issues that must be solved together
What is the
Bengaluru Sustainability Manifesto?
We dream of making Bengaluru the greenest megacity in the world, and we call for city level leadership to realise this vision. This is both a necessity to address the century's greatest global challenges, and a massive economic opportunity that will significantly improve citizens' quality of life. While we may currently seem far from this goal, we believe that through collaboration, strategic planning, and determination, we can achieve it within the span of a decade.
This Bengaluru Sustainability Manifesto for 2030 sets a bold vision for Bengaluru's sustainable development journey in the next 10 years. Scroll down to learn more, provide feedback, and join the movement!
