The average person has a misguided perception of climate change. We are oblivious to the reality of the dire condition our Earth is in. What is even more frightening is the inaction of individuals in power: governments and big corporations. “The need of the hour is not for people to know about the problem, it’s for them to understand the problem.” Mr. Abhiir Bhalla implores that awareness alone is no longer the requirement. We need to take action. He calls for the adoption of simple measures that we as global citizens must take to alleviate our impact on the Earth. Abhiir Bhalla is a dynamic individual. Tired of enduring the high air pollution levels in his hometown Delhi, he began his journey as a young environmentalist making waves around the world. He works as the Director of Operations and Community Engagement at Care for Air, a non-profit organization working on air pollution. He has been named ‘Friend of The Tiger’ by the National Tiger Conservation Authority of India. Recently, he also represented India as one of the five international youth environmentalists chosen from around the world to interact with the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, and Sir David Attenborough on BBC World News and BBC World Service. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
