Delhi Youth Summit

Action type:
06/10/2008

In the last few months a new youth movement has begun to take form in India: the Indian Youth Climate Network. You can read more about their rapidly growing network at their new blog: www.whatswiththeclimate.org.

Already, in their earliest stages, they're charging ahead with action. This 350 action photo was taken at the Teen Murti Bhavan, the home of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and it's just the beginning of the group's ambitions to set India on course to helping the world reach 350 ppm.

The action was part of a Delhi Youth Summit outlining first steps for how Indian youth are going to lead a new movement for action on climate change. There are also plans for a national youth climate summit in Hyderabad later this summer.

We are a duo working for Royal Bengal Tigers & Climate Change based in Kolkata.

We work for Kids for Tigers, a national initiative organised by Sanctuary Asia magazine to spread the word of conservation in young minds, particularly in schools. As part of our initiates we are closely working at the Sundarbans.

Hello... I am working, with Joydip and others, on climate change in the U.S. and India. I am Sanctuary Asia's Director of International Conservation Initiatives, and work with Sanctuary's Kids for Tigers program as well, from my home base in New York City. The link between forest protection, afforestation, biodiversity, and climate change is absolutely essential, and Sanctuary and KFT are excited to be working with 350.org and IYCN to "be the change we want to see in the world"... Let's get these global networks humming!
