Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old climate activist from Sweden who came to the eyes of social activist and political leaders in 'school strike' outside the Swedish parliament building, has asked world leaders not to ignore the impending consequences of climate change.
She gave a speech about climatic changes at United Nations Climate Change Conference last December which made the activists and political leaders to turn their heads towards her. "...We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, maybe we should change the system itself," she had said.
"We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again. We have run out of excuses and we are running out of time. We have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people," she added.
Ms. Greta Thunberg mentioned the Indian prime minister in an interview with Brut India. "Dear Mr. Modi, you need to take action now against the climate crisis, not just talking about it because if you keep going on like this, doing business as usual, and just talking about and bragging about the little victories, you are going to fail. And if you fail, you are going to be seen as one of the worst villains in human history in the future. And you don't want that,".
India is working towards reducing its emissions but with keeping growth firmly on top priority. The PM Modi-promoted International Solar Alliance that has 121 member nations so far aims to mobilise billions in investments by 2030 to drive growth of solar power generation. It is the only treaty-based inter-governmental organisation based out of India, all for tackling the challenges of climate change.
