As we gradually start seeing the impact of climate change on our daily lives, it is the children who are going to be the worst affected in the years to come. But far from being passive victims to this rapid change, young people across the world are taking climate action much seriously than ever before. From Greta Thunberg to closer to home, Licipriya Kangujam has become a popular face among the young generation who are using their voices as an important tool to tackle global climate action. This Environment Day, we too look forward to phenomenal youth participation in our events. The events cover interactive sessions with grassroots environment practitioners as well as climate strategists who will lay out a guidebook to take up climate action at individual levels through hands-on training sessions on waste segregation, composting, kitchen gardening, energy audits as well as stimulate very interesting interactive discussions of climate change communications, global climate crisis, and air pollution.
UN Decade of #Generation Restoration:
Ecosystems support all life on Earth. The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier will be in all life forms. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is a rallying call by the United Nations for the protection and revival of degraded ecosystems around the world. The UN decade that runs through 2030 aims to restore and replenish degraded ecosystems across the globe to enhance people’s livelihoods, fight climate change and preserve biodiversity. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, The UN Decade is building a strong, broad-based global movement to ramp up restoration and put the world on track for a sustainable future. That will include building political momentum for restoration as well as thousands of initiatives on the ground.
Together we can #GenerationRestoration!!
The Eastern Indian State of West Bengal has been seeing rapid environmental degradation and loss of ecosystems, ecological habitats, and people’s livelihoods linked to them. From the vanishing of farm ponds in the East Kolkata wetlands to the ecological threat to mangrove forests and tigers in the Sunderbans, from deforestation in the Eastern Himalayas of Darjeeling to the issue of over mining in the coalfields of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, the State has already started losing its ecological balance. Far from the rural and heavily forested areas, heavy population pressures in the cities and towns have put the air quality, green cover, and water quality of Bengal’s cities at threat.
If you are a climate crusader, if the global environmental crisis concerns you, register for our events without a second thought. It’s time for young champions to channel their energy, enthusiasm, and motivation in restoring our planet. As our ecosystem continues to degrade at an unprecedented rate without any clear signs of improvement in the years to come, it’s time to take climate action at individual levels. Whether through education, science, or technology, young people should start scaling up their efforts and use their skills to accelerate ecosystem restoration.
