Stuti Mishra

Senior Team Coordinator and Project Officer

Background

One of my fondest memories from school was visiting Godrej mangroves as a nature club activity and spotting a striped tiger butterfly on my bag. It was the most wonderful creature I have ever seen. From being a nerd about science and nature to leading a nature club in high school, to studying and researching how to make textile dyes more sustainable for my college final year project, to hosting a TED Circle to bring the discussion of transitioning away from fossil fuels to my institute, I’ve been committed to caring about Earth and making sustainability everyone’s reality. I always strive to lead by example, pushing boundaries to create the best versions of everything I touch.

The word "sustainability" gives me hope on the days my heart becomes anxious for us facing the adversities of climate change. After my undergraduate degree in textile engineering at the Institute of Chemical Technology, I learned more about the ESG and sustainability space by developing skill-based educational courses at an emerging startup that addressed the gap in knowledge of green skills. I believe saving the world
from the adversities of climate change, and the shift toward a just and regenerative future needs an army of professionals to drive this change. One of the highlights of my time working there was working and building a workshop that helped young professionals pivot into the world of ESG and sustainability with a collaborative approach. This helped me better understand the perspective of the gap in skills and eventually make the path
accessible for professionals to launch their careers.

At Forum, I'm thrilled to be part of the team that pushes sustainability forward with the aim of bringing fairness to people and the environment. My goal is to grow my impact over time, getting more involved in driving change and lending support to those who are already making a difference.

My dream project

Driving people towards a sustainable future seems straightforward - who wouldn't want to protect the environment, right? But when asked for behavioural changes like switching to paper straws, it would get us all riled up when it turns soggy while sipping our iced coffees. So, fostering effective collaboration, promoting behavioural and systematic change among diverse stakeholders, and championing meaningful innovations that aim to create a just, more sustainable world for all is something I would love to work on.

What floats my boat outside work?

I enjoy exploring different cultures, cooking spicy food, spoken poetry, Hindi/Urdu poems, thrifting and upcycling clothes, and putting together a cool outfit. Since I am based in Mumbai, my favourite activities are unwinding by the sea, watching the waves roll in, and indulging in some very spicy pani puri that never fails to bring tears to my eyes—in the best way possible, of course!

The Five Capitals - a framework for sustainability

The Five Capitals Model provides a basis for understanding sustainability in terms of the economic concept of wealth creation or ‘capital’. Any organisation will use five types of capital to deliver its products or services. A sustainable organisation will maintain and where possible enhance these stocks of capital assets, rather than deplete or degrade them.

Sustainability and system change

Climate change, malnutrition, inequality, poverty, ecological degradation. The global challenges we face are so urgent and tricky that we need a solution to match their scale and complexity. This is where system change comes in. We use systems thinking to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action to meet the SDG goals.
