Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

In addition to its primary objectives, CarbonShunya's impact extends across as many as eight SDGs, namely promoting clean energy access and reducing inequalities through access to affordable energy to rural women, fostering climate-action and sustainable communities, promoting community-led innovation/engagement in urban areas, catalyzing responsible consumption/production, climate action for industrial decarbonization etc. 
CarbonShunya aids a just and equitable climate-transition by supporting projects that provide access to clean-cooking Biogas to rural women. It will channelize consumer purchase of Carbon Offsets worth 100 million INR to support 100 verified rural Biogas projects within 3 years. Thereby it will mitigate the hazards of indoor-pollution for women, free  up women/children from collecting forest-wood and improve rural livelihoods. 

CarbonShunya attacks the roots of urban air-pollution, which exacts a staggering toll on the health of our children. W.H.O. reports that air pollution takes the lives of 600,000+ children under 5 every year. Ninety three percent of the world’s children are forced to breathe toxic air, everyday. Inhaling toxic air cuts-short their life span and makes them vulnerable to serious diseases later in life.
Through its holistic approach, CarbonShunya becomes a catalyst for positive change, advancing the achievement of SDGs, and  catalyzing a harmonious and sustainable economic future.
