Climate Warrior began as Bhumi Pednekar's passion project through which she started working with organizations & climate conservationists to raise awareness about climate change. Today it has grown into a community of Climate Warriors, led by Bhumi, through which consistent efforts have been made towards the cause of beach cleanup, reforestation, garbage segregation, rainwater harvesting, recycling, upcycling & sustainable living through her non-profit Climate Warrior.

She has worked with climate activists like Afroz Shah to help with the Versova beach clean-up. Bhumi has participated in the New York Climate Week, she has spoken to students at the prestigious Harvard University about her passion to convince everyone to switch to climate friendly lifestyle choices and several other global platforms.
