With a mission to empower the youth to take ownership of creatinga sustainable future for themselves, TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS) and Dalmia Cement today jointly kicked off‘ Climate Jamboree’ – a major youth mobilization engagement at the Thyagraj Stadium, New Delhi. The three-day movement started today in the presence of around 10,000 youth, 100 plus experts and 50 plus partners and other relevant stakeholders from India and across the world. The mission of Climate Jamboree is to unveil the power of the youth to make a difference towards achieving a climate neutral lifestyle and showcase sustainability in all its facets to create an empathy with the issue of climate change, further encouraging them to take ownership of the solutions.
The three-day event will connect youth to relevant stakeholders to drive climate action and empower them to achieve sustainable development goals. The aim is to create ‘Youth Voices’ that will lead to commitments, innovative solutions, and create a multiplier effect for low carbon sustainable development, and through focussed deliberations. This will lead to a holistic declaration document feeding into COP 24 to be held in Poland December 2018.
Lauding TERI SAS and Dalmia Cement for organizing Climate Jamboree Sh. Suresh Prabhu, Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India said, “Climate Change is a great leveller and will impact everyone in the world. Those who have no capacity to cope with it will be the worst sufferers. Today India is in a situation where like the rest of the world, we are facing its impact too. But unlike rich countries, we do not have the resources to cope with it. The droughts, floods, natural disasters, water scarcity, heat waves and many more impacts that we see are a symptom of a deep malaise called climate change. Today we all, and most importantly youth, need to work towards mitigating and creating awareness about climate change and be change-agents.
