Building the capacity of the Mobius Young Professionals (MYP) on research and development to  contribute to the ongoing initiatives launched at the UN Climate conference in Sharm el Sheikh (COP 27) to translate indigenous knowledge into concrete policy actions is making considerable progress. Besides this, the Mobius Young Professionals are being trained on various aspects of contemporary environmental issues both local and global, writing and presentation skills, critical thinking, and brainstorming sessions.

Since beekeeping is an important component of Agroforestry (under Agroforestry JICA project), the Mobius project is further undertaking a collaborative research and development with the Government’s Nagaland Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM) and the Forest department to jointly to develop and publish “A road map to accelerate the honey sector in Nagaland” and submit it to the Government. It is envisaged that indigenous knowledge on beekeeping as nature nature-based solution is a feasible intervention towards not only regenerating forests in Nagaland (supporting the JICA-NFPM Forestry project) but also boosting the economy and livelihood thus meeting the various targets of our State’s Sustainable Development Goals as underlined in the Nagaland Vision 2030 document.
