RCE Mumbai is located in the commercial capital of India, which is home to nearly 22 million people from diverse linguistic, religious, cultural and professional backgrounds. Rapid urbanization and commercialization to meet the demands of the steadily increasing populace has exerted tremendous pressure on the city’s environment and social structure. The impetus given to development projects such as a sea link, flyovers, expressways and new airports have fuelled the development debate wherein environmental and social issues are often compromised.
Vision:
The vision of RCE Mumbai is to promote collaborative research and outreach amongst its partners to address regional sustainability issues in Mumbai given the area of interest and expertise of the member organizations. The immediate focus for RCE Mumbai is on wetland and water bodies, and on waste and water management.
Goals:
- Ensuring presence at international conferences, seminars and cities
- Organize environmental awareness and capacity building programs
- Leadership Development Programmes in ESD
- Encourage young students, teachers, parents and the community to practice the 4Rs—refuse, reuse, reduce and recycle, and to make consumption
