DAIS  students  emphasize  that  sustainable  consumption  and  production
            is not 'about doing more' but about 'doing better with less.' They know

            that  growth  is  sought  by  increasing  resource  efficiency  and  promoting
            sustainable  lifestyles.  Our  school  strives  towards  energy  efficiency  and

            works  towards  disaster  risk  reduction.  Children  at  DAIS  are  taught  that
            cities  are  key  systems  for  global  economic  growth  but  also  drivers  of

            environmental  degradation,  affecting  the  balance  between  humans  and
            natural systems. The urban sprawl has made cities vulnerable not only to

            climate  change  induced  flooding,  droughts,  and  heatwaves  but  also  to
            problems  like  inadequate  transportation  infrastructure  and  air  pollution.

            Our students believe that strongly focusing on efficient infrastructure and
            nature-based  solutions  for  urban  planning  will  make  cities  sustainable.
