Mr.
Prakash Javadekar, Hon’ble Minister, Environment, Forests and Climate Change has
just returned after the ground breaking COP 21 conclave.
The
Hon’ble Minister will be joining us on 19th Dec ’15 with a
video speech, his first after the Paris conclave.
So
do come and bring like minded friends along to hear what exactly transpired in
Paris.
Looking
forward to meeting you all at Wadke Hall, Corporation building at 3:30pm.
Climate
Change has been grabbing the headlines for quite a while. And why is that?
Because… if Global warming goes on at the present rate, it will affect the
quality of our life in a very negative way. We will suffer for sure but more
than us, it will be our children and grandchildren who will have to bear the
brunt of our generation’s misuse of resources.
Today
we have some good news to celebrate: the 196 countries that met at Paris have
unanimously agreed on how they will manage the environment and control the rate
of global warming. That’s good, but it’s still not enough. We cannot just wait
and trust our government to take appropriate action to protect our future. If
we are serious about protecting our environment then it has to be the combined
effort of the Government, the Administration and the Citizens.
With
this sincere conviction in mind National Society for Clean Cities, Pune
has invited representatives from the Government, Administration and the
Citizens to come together at its monthly meeting on Saturday 19th
December 2015 at Wadke Hall, PMC, at 3.30pm to discuss this huge problem: “Climate
Change and the way forward for Pune”.
Agenda:
1. Children from Viman Nagar will present a mime show
on the subject.
2. Col. Shashikant Dalvi (Retd.) of National
Society for Clean Cities, Pune and Climate Reality District Manager will speak
of NSCC’s plans of getting citizens involved.
3. Ms. Vandana Chavan (M.P., Rajya Sabha) has been in the
forefront of the Environment Movement in Pune. She has been trained at one of
the first Climate Reality Workshop by Al Gore. She has just returned from the
COP21 deliberation in Paris. Ms. Chavan will explain the issues connected with
Climate Change and the role to be played by governments.
4. Mr. Kunal Kumar, IAS, Municipal
Commissioner of Pune, will brief us on PMC’s plans in keeping with the Climate
Change targets.
5. Citizens question and speak.
6. Mr. DVR Rao will give the Vote of Thanks
Climate
Change is the most important issue facing us and we all have to act.
Do
come for the NSCC meeting at Wadke Hall at 3.30 pm on Saturday 19th
December 2015.
Do
bring your friends and family along.
Looking
forward to meeting you all..
For
National Society for Clean Cities, Pune
