The policy think tank launched the programme with an event at the Bangalore International Centre on Saturday that brought together artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers and activists.
Musician Vasu Dixit underlined the power of music to bring about positive change. The launch featured a performance by singer-songwriter Anoushka Maskey, and Thermos, an interactive play by the Bangalore Little Theatre which had a comical, irreverent examination of global warming and climate change.
“The eARTh initiative is an effort to involve the community at large in climate action through art by bringing about behavioural change,” Jai Asundi, executive director, CSTEP, said.
