| World Environment Day Celebrated at ICMEI |
New Delhi: “Nature is
sending us a clear message. We are harming the natural world – to our own
detriment. Habitat degradation and biodiversity loss are accelerating. Climate
disruption is getting worse. Fires, floods, droughts and superstorms are more
frequent and damaging. Oceans are heating and acidifying, destroying coral
ecosystems. And now, a new coronavirus is raging, undermining health and
livelihoods. To care for humanity, we MUST care for nature. We need our entire
global community to change course,” said Dr. Sandeep Marwah Chancellor AAFT
University of Media And Arts in a webinar organized by International Chamber of
Media And Entertainment Industry on World Environment Day.
“Human
actions, including deforestation, encroachment on wildlife habitats,
intensified agriculture, and acceleration of climate change, have pushed nature
beyond its limit. It would take 1.6 Earths to meet the demands that humans make
of nature each year. If we continue on this path, biodiversity loss will have
severe implications for humanity, including the collapse of food and health
systems,” explained Sushil Tripathi former
Secretary Government of India Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
“Let’s rethink what we buy
and use. Adopt sustainable habits, farming and business models. Safeguard remaining
wild spaces and wildlife and commit to a green and resilient future. As we work
to build back better, let’s put nature where it belongs -- at the heart of our
decision-making. On this World Environment Day, it’s Time for Nature,” added Dr.
K. D. Gupta Chairman Environment and Climate Committee of ICMEI.
Dr. Sandeep Marwah earlier
