Final Words.... by Chairman

-Dr Rajendra Shende, Former Director, UNEP

Multiple Pandemics. But we have Multiple Ways Out!

COVID-19 is not the only pandemic that has trapped humanity. Conflicts between nations, climate change that is heating the world and catastrophic loss of biodiversity are also pandemics that have invisibly engulfed the world. Worse, these three pandemics are interlinked between themselves and also with COVID19!

Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for these pandemics and symptoms are grave.

‘Learning by Doing’ is the only booster dose. And ‘Accelerating by Sharing’ is the only prevention dose for collective survival in such multiple pandemics. It is a sure way to make this planet a place for a sustainable future. Read More
