Dear Sir, Kindly find attached below the article and posters of the upcoming National Level event happening in Goa. From 2nd to 8th Oct 2020, the "Wildlife Week" will be organised by the Global Shapers, Panjim Hub in association with the GBCN, SAWE and FERC. This is for your information and record. *Article:* *On 21 June 2019, a 7 year old girl started spending multiple weeks outside the Indian parliament House to draw the attention of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to pass a climate change law in India. This little girl from Manipur is Licypriya Kangujam. After her protest, more than six MPs (both from ruling and opposition) brought up the issue of climate change for the first time in the history of India in Lok Sabha, on July 24. From 17 year old Greta Thunberg in Sweden, 14 year old Leah Namugerwa in Uganda, to 22 year old John Paul Jose in India, youth all over the world are rising up against the climate crises we face today. No longer are we satisfied with sitting on the sidelines waiting for our time to make a difference. This IS our time. Armed with scientific facts and clear evidence around us, how can we afford to carry on with our conventional daily routines when the world as we know it is literally burning as we speak? Do you wish to be a part of this movement? How would you even begin to get involved in such a daunting mission? Listen to experts already in the field during the wildlife week from 2nd to 8th Oct. What are the challenges they face when trying to protect the very earth on which we depend? What would they advise the youth of today who are eager to be a part of this high-priority undertaking? The Global Shapers, Panjim Hub is asking these questions and more.
