In the context of the
World Environmental Day, an exhibition on climate
change was held at the Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre, with the financial support
of the Japanese Government, through the UNDP under the Africa Adaptation
Programme.
I thank the Ministry of Environment and the UNDP for supporting the
setting up of the new Exhibition, entitled, Climate Change: Threats and
Challenges. This year’s theme is: “Green Economy. Does It Include You?” The World
Environment Day celebrations have continued to provide a vehicle to stimulate
environmental consciousness, create awareness and educate the public on
environmental issues. This exhibition will
create awareness among the students and the public on the issue of
climate change and expose them to a wide range of information sources about the
topic such as panel based exhibitions, interactive exhibits, games and
documentary films so that they learn in a fun and informal manner.
