Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today called for ‘collective action’ from people, along with enabling policies, for limiting the impact of climate change.
He said “to be able to achieve the 1.5 degrees C global warming limit, we must aim at both macro-level systemic changes as well as micro-level lifestyle choices. We need a people’s movement for environmental protection.”
Calling for serious introspection and bold actions to mitigate the reality of increasing extreme events and diminishing biodiversity, Naidu said that “it is not only the duty of the government to deliberate, but it is the duty of every citizen and human being on earth to save this planet.”
