In this System Shapers episode of Get Set Green, speaking with Rwitika Bhattacharya, CEO of Swaniti Initiative — an organization empowering governments and lawmakers across South Asia to create data-driven, climate-resilient policies.

In a world where climate challenges are growing faster than our policies can catch up, we need leaders who can connect governance with ground realities.

Here’s how Swaniti is driving impact:

1. ​Works directly with governments and parliamentarians to embed sustainability into decision-making.
2. ​Uses data, research, and design to strengthen policy systems.
3. ​Focuses on climate adaptation, gender equity, and livelihood resilience.
4. ​Bridges the gap between grassroots realities and national policies.

Rwitika’s journey is a masterclass in how strong systems — led by visionary women — can turn sustainability from a goal into action.
