Parjanya Tiwari is a rising sophomore at the College (‘28), studying economics and potentially public policy. Having grown up in India, her interest in climate and sustainability comes from lived experience, especially witnessing rising temperatures and being immersed in eco-conscious communities like Auroville from a young age. She is especially curious about the intersection of farming, policy, and carbon reduction, and how grassroots practices can influence systemic change. Parjanya is excited to explore these themes further through the India Summer Fellows program at the Institute of Climate and Sustainable Growth.
