Speaking on the occasion, Prajakta said, “I am extremely humbled and honoured to have been entitled with this unique responsibility to champion a cause that is close to my heart. As the very first UNDP IndiaYouth Climate Champion, I would like to produce and participate in opportunities that propel conversations around climate action and the urgent measures we must take.”
Speaking on how youth can make a difference, she added, “The youth need to be the torchbearers of this revolution and foot soldiers who will work towards the common goal of an enriched and empowered future where the human species doesn’t become endangered. We have created this problem, but we can solve it too. With UNDP, I will strive to work with young minds across the globe to take appropriate measures for climate action.”
