Udaipur, Dr. Anil Mehta, Principal of Vidya Bhavan Polytechnic, has been included in a special delegation of experts and institutions appointed by the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change to participate in the United Nations Climate Summit, COP 29. The summit will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22.
Dr. Mehta, along with seven other experts from India who are actively working on environmental issues from a grassroots level, will represent the country. The delegation includes experts from major Indian institutions, as well as youth from prestigious global universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Columbia. In total, 22 young Indian participants will attend the conference in Azerbaijan.
Dr. Mehta, who has been working for many years on topics related to trees, mountains, water, and the environment, will join the delegation in focusing global attention on India's Mission LIFE (Lifestyle for the Environment). This mission emphasizes a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle to protect the environment. The Indian team will encourage the global community to embrace green dialogue and environmental conservation.
It is noteworthy that Dr. Mehta recently presented his views on climate change and sustainable solutions during a national seminar titled "Global Efforts for Climate Change: Contribution of States in India's Commitment" organized by the Madhya Pradesh government in Bhopal. At this seminar, Dr. Mehta introduced the concept of "Green Dialogue" (Holistic Action for Revitalization of Indigenous Traditions), which advocates for local, environmentally sustainable cultures, traditions, and lifestyles. This theme will be prominently featured in the discussions at the upcoming climate summit.
