Legislators play a pivotal role in contributing to the growing local and global discourse on sustainability. The programme aims to develop a network of legislators who will be agents of sustainable change, not only in their constituencies but will also influence broader policies

Legislators: the pivot of sustainable decision making
A legislator can contribute to sustainable development in the following ways:

Livelihood Protection: MLAs have a critical role to play in the protection of livelihoods of various stakeholders in their respective constituencies.

Community Empowerment: Legislators are the torch bearers for empowering the local community with respect to climate change issues. They are in a unique position to connect policy and legislations with the needs of the community.

Investment Guidance: Political representatives need to know the state's key sectors that are vulnerable to climate change and can hence direct investment in an effective manner towards achieving sustainable development.
