Final Words.... by Director

PlanetPulse

Red Light for Humanity

SDGs 7 (Clean Energy) & SDGs 13 (Action on Climate) are directly impacting climate change. But 7 years after SDGs were agreed by all the countries in the world, energy transition and action on climate are far slower than the spread of extreme climate events and their severity. The climate crisis is spreading like a Pandemic. The last 4 months are the hottest consecutive months on record. The last 10 months of 2023 have seen record economic losses due to frequent and intense climatic extreme events. 

Now Smart Campus Cloud Network - a Global Network of Universities for localizing the SDGs and Net Zero in the campus of educational institutes - has titled the 11th month of 2023 as 'PlanetPulse'. Indeed, at the end of the 11th month on 30 November, starts UN conference called COP28 (28th Conference of Parties). This conference is known as the 'Global Stock-taking Conference. It will take the 'stock of the efforts and emissions' made by the 196 countries in the world. In a way, the COP28 would measure the Pulse of the Planet.

PlanetPulse is uniting Youth for Net-Zero. It is a movement, and together, we will make a difference, for our nation and our planet. Read More
