When we think of the environment, we often return to the simple definition we learned as children: everything that surrounds us—the air we breathe, the water we drink, the trees we rest under, the animals we live alongside. It is this natural system that supports all life on Earth, giving us food, water, shelter, and security. India is a land blessed with diversity—soaring mountains, sacred rivers, rich forests, and lush landscapes. Yet, all of this is under threat. Climate change is not a distant threat; it is here, and it is now. The warning signs are loud and clear—from the flash floods in Uttarakhand to rising sea levels in Mumbai and the increasingly frequent cyclones on our coasts. The message is simple yet urgent: Tomorrow must be saved today.
