CleanEARTH

This pale blue dot, our Earth, is the solitary home to all the living species yet found. Sustainability Idea Labs through The India Pavilion hopes to highlight those who have dug deep, and in spite of our flawed structures and systems, have managed to sow seeds of change. It is our aim to connect the world at large with stories of hope spun by people who are doing their best to balance and give back much more than they take from our planet.

The mapping of sustainable ideas in the domains of cleanWater, cleanAir, cleanEnergy, cleanEarth or Forest documents India's most seminal ideas in building ecological resilience. Sustainability Idea Labs is delighted to showcase these ideas as Administering Partner at the India Pavilion, London Design Biennale 2021. Every project showcased here is the copyright of its author/ firm.
