The programme offers students a unique opportunity to develop and apply technology solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Students learn to use engineering tools and design thinking principles with practical application-oriented learning at Anant’s Climate Lab, within industry, government and research laboratories for creating technology solutions for climate change.

The curriculum is strategically designed to provide incremental advancement across eight climate technology streams – Climate Simulation, Engineering Mathematics, Environmental Engineering, Climate Chemistry, Energy and Technology, Climate Finance, Design Thinking and Behavioural Science and Technology and Society – and applied research throughout the first six semesters. The final two semesters are dedicated to specialisation, allowing students to take specialised courses that lead to complete industry immersion.

As estimated by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), India is likely to create 3 million renewable energy-related jobs by 2030. Yet only 1,20,000 globally and 5,000 in India are qualified or formally and adequately trained to cater to the burgeoning climate industry, offering immense opportunities for trained climate warriors. To ensure that the BTech students get the proper industry exposure, Anant provides internship opportunities to all its students. Some have interned at companies like Tech Mahindra, Johnson Controls Hitachi, the Commonwealth Secretariat and Sustain Labs Paris.

Dr Miniya Chatterji, Founding Director, Anant School for Climate Action, Anant National University and CEO, Sustain Labs Paris, says, “The BTech in Climate Change programme at Anant National University is a pioneering step toward equipping young minds with the skills and knowledge to solve the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. As climate change reshapes economies and industries, this engineering degree empowers students to create transformative solutions and lead the rapidly growing global climate industry. We are proud to nurture future climate leaders who will drive sustainable innovation and systemic change and encourage aspiring changemakers to join us and be part of this impactful journey.”

Anant National University has also established global partnerships with leading academic and industry institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania (USA), Sciences Po (France), The Villars Institute (Switzerland), the Commonwealth Secretariat (UK), Sustain Lab Paris (UAE), Initiatives of Change, UNICEF and Earthday.org.

As India’s first climate-focused education institution, Anant School for Climate Action at Anant National University is committed to nurturing future climate leaders through its diverse programmes, from undergraduate to PhD levels.

During the lecture, Dr Singh underscored the critical role of community-driven approaches, traditional knowledge, innovation and adaptability in addressing the pressing challenges of water scarcity and climate change. He highlighted that while the water crisis is a global issue, the solutions lie in local, collaborative efforts. Drawing on India’s rich heritage, Dr Singh encouraged students to cultivate a deeper respect and connection with nature grounded in traditional wisdom.

A key figure in the water conservation movement, Dr Singh’s work with the NGO Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS) has revitalised over 1,200 water-starved villages and helped reverse rural migration caused by droughts and floods. His pioneering efforts in rainwater harvesting, particularly the traditional Johad (percolation ponds) technique, have restored water sources and supported over one million farmers and villagers in returning to their homelands.

Recipient of prestigious accolades such as the Ramon Magsaysay Award and the Stockholm Water Prize, Dr Singh concluded his talk by underscoring the necessity of protecting and rejuvenating rivers and wells, reminding the audience that no civilisation can flourish without healthy, flowing rivers.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Anunaya Chaubey, Provost, Anant National University, said, “Dr Singh is a true solutionary, someone whose innovative efforts have transformed many lives by addressing pressing societal challenges. His work exemplifies the kind of impact-driven approach we cultivate at Anant, training young designers to devise solutions to real-world problems to make an impact on society. We look forward to a long and productive collaboration with him.”
