CSE's Annual Environment Data Camp: Environmental Data and Statistics, 2021-22

August 30 - September 2, 2022
Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI), Nimli, Alwar, Rajasthan

Climate change. Air pollution. Water conservation and wastewater management. Industrial contamination. Renewable energy. Forests and biodiversity. Agriculture. Solid waste management. Food and food systems. Every year, CSE and Down To Earth’s State of India’s Environment in Figures brings together a comprehensive resource publication on environmental statistics on all these issues (and more). Every page tells a number of stories, all brought to the reader through uniquely conceived, well-visualised data sets.

Take climate change. The evidence of this existential threat to humanity is clearly seen in the data that is emerging every year – this data, if visualised well, can become an effective basis for actions to arrest climate change or adapt to it.

We are now bringing you a four-day residential certificate course – our inaugural Data Camp – based on this seminal annual publication. Using the subjects covered in it, the Data Camp will unravel for you what the numbers really say, the stories that can be told using them, and help you visualise them using state-of-art visualisation and communication tools and methods

The participants will be accommodated in the AAETI campus, a state-of-the-art residential training facility developed by CSE, located at the foothills of the Aravalli mountains, barely three hours away from Delhi.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS DATA CAMP?
Public relations and communication professionals; researchers and writers on environment and development; data managers and statisticians; students; professionals, government officials and policymakers working on environment, including on sustainable development goals (SDGs).
