NEW YORK and NOIDA, India, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HCLTech, (NSE: HCLTECH) (BSE: HCLTECH) a leading global technology company, today announced Guatemala-based CISP – Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli as the winner and Argentina-based Aves Argentinas and Mexico-based Isla Urbana – Lluvia para Todos A.C. as runners-up of the third edition of the HCLTech Climate Action Grant in the Americas. The three nonprofit organizations (NPOs) will collectively receive $1 million to scale innovative climate initiatives across the Americas.

CISP will receive $500,000, while Aves Argentinas and Lluvia para Todos will each receive $250,000. The funding will enable the organizations to expand their work in water security, biodiversity conservation and access to clean water in climate-vulnerable regions.

CISP will focus on improving water security and sustainable land management in Guatemala’s dry corridor with the aim to bring clean water back to 200 families through rainwater harvesting. Aves Argentinas will advance ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest region of the Iguazú river basin with estimated impact of restoring more than 790 hectares in the community. Lluvia para Todos will expand community-based rainwater harvesting systems in water-stressed regions of Mexico with approximately 2,300 individuals benefitting from rainwater harvesting providing a total of 4.2 million liters of harvested water.

The 2026 edition attracted applications from NPOs across 10 countries in the Americas —Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru and the United States — reflecting a 41% increase since the program’s launch. A seven-member jury comprising of HCLTech leaders and external experts selected the finalists through a multi-stage evaluation process, based on their ability to deliver scalable and locally relevant climate solutions.

“We are inspired by the ingenuity and commitment demonstrated by this year’s recipients, who are driving meaningful climate action in the communities that need it most,” said Dr. Nidhi Pundhir, Senior Vice President, Global CSR, HCLTech. “As the program enters its third year, we are seeing tangible progress in advancing sustainable, community-led solutions, reinforcing our commitment to enabling long-term climate resilience across the region.”

The program builds on the momentum of the previous six NPO recipients, whose initiatives have contributed to ecological restoration, climate resilience and sustainable community development across the Americas. To date, efforts supported through the Grant have enabled the planting of more than 360,000 native trees and mangroves, and empowered more than 1,400 young people, students, and educators through climate leadership. These efforts have strengthened biodiversity and marine ecosystems and advance sustainability education and environmental stewardship programs through AI-enabled environmental monitoring.

Launched in 2023, the HCLTech Climate Action Grant in the Americas is part of the company’s broader sustainability and CSR strategy to invest in and strengthen the communities it serves. HCLTech committed $5 million over five years for this initiative.

HCLTech continues to be recognized for its dedication to combatting climate change and overall sustainability initiatives, including being ranked among the top 15 in Professional Services in the World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2025 list by TIME.

HelloNation Explains Jet Noise on Whidbey Island, WA, Featuring Real Estate Expert Pamela Z Hill

Published

on

By

The article outlines practical ways buyers can evaluate military flight activity before purchasing a home.

WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash., June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How can homebuyers determine whether military flight activity will affect their comfort in a new neighborhood? A recent HelloNation article provides the answer, featuring insights from Pamela Z Hill of Whidbey View Homes Inc in Whidbey Island, Washington. The article examines how buyers can evaluate jet noise on Whidbey Island, WA, before making a real estate purchase and why firsthand research is an important part of the decision-making process.

The HelloNation article explains that purchasing a home on Whidbey Island often involves more than comparing square footage, views, or price. Buyers must also consider environmental factors that can affect daily life, including the presence of military aircraft activity associated with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Understanding these conditions before making a purchase can help buyers make decisions that better align with their expectations and lifestyle goals.

According to the article, jet noise can vary significantly from one neighborhood to another. Some communities experience only occasional aircraft activity, while others are situated closer to active flight paths or training areas. The article notes that areas near Oak Harbor and Coupeville may experience more noticeable military jet noise during scheduled operations, while other parts of the island remain relatively quiet.

The article emphasizes that buyers should avoid assuming all neighborhoods offer the same experience. Instead, prospective homeowners are encouraged to research individual communities and learn how local conditions may differ. Small changes in location can have a meaningful impact on daily living conditions and overall satisfaction after purchasing a property.

One of the key recommendations discussed in the article is reviewing information available through NAS Whidbey. Public flight schedules, training updates, and community noise resources can help buyers understand when flight training activities typically occur and how frequently they may affect nearby areas. For people relocating from outside Washington, these resources can provide valuable context before beginning a home search.

The article also highlights the importance of visiting a property during active flight training periods. A neighborhood that seems quiet during one visit may sound very different when military aircraft operations are underway. Spending time both inside and outside the property can help buyers gain a more realistic understanding of the environment they may experience after moving in.

Another practical suggestion involves speaking directly with local residents. Neighbors often have firsthand knowledge about military jet noise, seasonal activity patterns, and how weather conditions can influence sound levels. These conversations can provide additional insight that may not be available through online research or property listings.

The article explains that environmental factors deserve the same attention buyers give to property condition, commute times, and local amenities. Because Whidbey Island real estate attracts individuals seeking scenic surroundings, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace of life, understanding how flight activity fits into that lifestyle is an important consideration.

The HelloNation article also notes that personal tolerance for noise varies considerably. Some people quickly adapt to aircraft activity, while others may find it more noticeable over time. This is why firsthand observation remains one of the most effective ways to evaluate whether a property and neighborhood are a good fit.

By taking the time to review NAS Whidbey information, visiting homes during flight training operations, and speaking with local residents, buyers can make more informed decisions during the home-buying process. Careful evaluation helps prospective homeowners better understand what daily life may be like in different neighborhoods and supports greater confidence in their final decision.
