Government Higher Secondary School in Athali, Uttarkashi is first amongst the four schools to be developed in Uttarakhand in Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. The project aims to create a sustainable school environment across the state by reducing carbon footprint, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting awareness and education around climate change among students, teachers, and the community. India is the seventh most vulnerable country to climate change impact, according to the Global Climate Risk Index 2021. During the Glasgow summit in 2021, India took another step towards its commitment to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2070 by introducing the LiFE (Lifestyle for the Environment) movement.)
