Deadline: 31-Jul-20
Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS) is currently inviting applications for small financial assistance under its programme Green Action Week Fund- India for the year 2020.
The Green Action Week Fund India is a joint partnership established between the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) and CUTS International in 2017. The purpose of the grant is to fund short-term campaigning activities to raise consumer awareness on environmental issues.
Green Action Week, which is Sept. 28 to Oct. 4 , 2020, is a global people’s campaign to promote sustainable consumption. Each year in October, organisations around the world take joint action to promote a common cause. Last year, 50 civil society organisations in 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the America participated in the campaign.
Under the campaign, activities will be based on the theme ‘Sharing Community’ to promote the sustainable consumption. Access to goods and services are unequal and planetary boundaries are being beached. Campaign wants to ignite cultures of sharing and collaboration, as a way to create sustainable access for more people and at the same time reduce stress on the planet. It would be an attempt to challenges the norm of private ownership and consumerism through creation of strong, collaborating communities.
Theme
The theme is “Sharing Community”.
Timeframe
The campaign will be implemented during September-October 2020 mainly focussing global Green Action Week, i.e. Sept. 28-Oct. 4, 2020.
Eligibility Criteria
