Besides, it will also release Act4Earth Manifesto and Act4Earth Strategy papers in order to reinforce commitment at all levels to enhance ambition and action.
Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, The Energy and Resources Institute, said, “For over 20 years, this Summit has successfully garnered varied views on sustainable development and climate action through brainstorming deliberations aiming at sensitizing political establishments and civil society to act. We have so far hosted over 25000 delegates in this series of summits. We are looking forward to this year’s 21st edition of the summit and the active participation of all stakeholders.”
The Summit will play a constructivist role in guiding activities such as the COP27 Compass and SDG Charter, added Dhawan.
