#ClimateAction starts in dust, rain, and quiet resolve. Before basalt dust locks carbon deep in soils, it must journey through crushers, brave India’s monsoons, and ride hundreds of miles on the backs of trucks. This is climate work — human, hard, and often invisible.

Since the 1950s, India has warmed by about 0.6°C, about half the rate observed in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere. This so-called ‘cooling’ of India comes at a staggering human cost though. In 2021, aerosol pollution contributed to 2–3 million deaths in South Asia.
