Established in 2022, the Environment Working Group aims to serve as a platform for like-minded professionals to know about, discuss, share and work on a diverse set of environmental challenges in the region. It is sector-agnostic and welcomes colleagues from various relevant backgrounds, such as waste, forestry, energy, transport, climate change amongst others. The Environment WG is driven by the active engagement and inputs of the members and provides opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange and learning for its members through contribution in development of and dissemination through digital tools. This interactive platform would be flexible for topics within the scope of the projects in the region, WG members and overall theme of the TUEWAS sector network. It also encourages member projects to ensure gender responsiveness as an inherent element of the work they do and contribute to the gender related activities and outcomes of the sector network. The WG currently has 4 task forces for the year 2023. The WG will be led by Kundan Burnwal and Parth Sarathi Mahapatra as Speaker and Co-speaker respectively.
