"Lifestyle is Climate Action". | Mita Wadhwa | TEDxSAGEUniversity

Mita Wadhwa brings a grassroots perspective to the challenges of building stronger, more inclusive and sustainable communities. Through her work with women, communities and environmental initiatives, she explores how social empowerment and environmental responsibility can come together to create lasting change.
Her talk highlights the power of women and local communities as agents of transformation—from creating livelihood opportunities and strengthening financial independence to taking collective action for cleaner surroundings, better waste management and environmental conservation. Her work with women’s groups and community-led environmental initiatives reflects this intersection of people, planet and participation. Mita Wadhwa is a social worker and community changemaker, and the Founder of SETU Foundation. Her work focuses on women empowerment, livelihood development, sustainability and community well-being, with a strong emphasis on turning social awareness into meaningful action. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
