Pahaad Aur Parivartan: A Climate Film & Citizen Townhall
About the Event
Uttarakhand’s natural beauty and cultural heritage are deeply intertwined with its ecosystems—but the state is now at an ecological tipping point. Melting glaciers, erratic weather, and growing development pressures are transforming the way people live and work.
Pahad aur Parivartan is a virtual townhall that invites a fresh, human-centered approach to climate dialogue. Through films, data, and conversations, we’ll explore how climate change is shaping life in Uttarakhand—and how communities are responding with creativity, resilience, and care.
This is a space for reflection, storytelling, and collective imagination.
What to Expect
Short Film Screenings featuring stories created with and by communities in Uttarakhand
Launch of Climate Trends’ Survey on public perceptions of climate change in the region
Reflections from Creators and Experts across film, media, and environmental thought
Interactive Breakout Session to deepen dialogue and surface new ideas
Open Forum for questions, insights, and collaborative learning
Insights, reflections, and ideas from this townhall will be captured in a Citizen White Paper—a living document of community-driven recommendations for climate resilience and sustainable development in Uttarakhand.
Join us to listen, share, and shape a more grounded, creative, and hopeful path forward.
