Restoring a Healthy Climate for a Safer Future
Accelerating science-based climate solutions through research, evidence, public engagement, and collaboration.
Why the Climate Crisis Demands New Solutions
The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat—it is unfolding now. This film explores why emissions reduction must be complemented by research, evidence, and responsible climate innovation, and how HCI is bringing together scientists, policymakers, and communities to accelerate solutions for a safer future.
Who We Are
The Healthy Climate Initiative (HCI) is a nonprofit organization based in India and the United States that advances science-based climate solutions by connecting research, real-world evidence, policy, public engagement, and on-the-ground action. Recognizing that emissions reduction alone cannot address the urgency of the climate crisis, HCI works with scientists, academic institutions, policymakers, civil society, and global partners to accelerate responsible solutions that reduce near-term climate risks while restoring long-term climate stability.
Our Vision
To regenerate a healthy climate and make it safer for future generations.
Our Mission
To advance science-based solutions that reduce near-term climate risks and restore long-term climate stability—through sunlight-reflecting methods, glacier preservation, carbon dioxide removal, reforestation, and climate resilience.
Our Three Priorities
Research, Field
Experiments & Pilots
HCI identifies critical climate challenges, convenes leading scientists and institutions, and catalyzes collaborative research and field experiments to generate the evidence needed for informed policy and responsible climate decision-making.
Climate Intervention
Awareness Campaign
We turn climate science into understanding, urgency, and action. Through workshops, webinars, university partnerships, and policy dialogue, HCI equips students, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders to make informed decisions and drive lasting climate action.
Community-Led
Reforestation & Resilience
Partnering with local communities to restore ecosystems, strengthen resilience, and create sustainable livelihoods through reforestation, mangrove restoration, and other nature-based solutions.
Climate Awareness Campaign
Building Climate Leaders Across India
In 2025, HCI expanded its mission by investing in people. Through partnerships with universities and civil society organizations, we conducted seven climate workshops across India, bringing together students, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders to explore practical solutions to the climate crisis.
To reach an even wider audience, HCI also hosted around 20 webinars, connecting global experts with emerging climate leaders and fostering continuous learning beyond in-person events.
