Towards a National Himalayan Resilience Mission
Unveiling on World Environment Day | 5 June 2026

The Himalayas stand at a critical crossroads. As climate change, rapid urbanisation, infrastructure expansion, and ecological pressures reshape one of the world's most fragile mountain ecosystems, the need for a new development paradigm has never been greater.

Developed through a series of interdisciplinary consultations led by the CP Kukreja Foundation for Design Excellence (CPKF), National Framework for Himalayan Resilience and Sustainable Mountain Development brings together insights from experts across climate science, ecology, geology, planning, architecture, infrastructure, governance, and disaster resilience. The publication explores pathways towards mountain-sensitive development that is ecologically responsible, climate-responsive, and rooted in long-term resilience.

Unveiling on World Environment Day 2026, the publication seeks to contribute to the national conversation on safeguarding the future of the Indian Himalayas while enabling sustainable growth for generations to come.
