At the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, the chairman of the Indian company Godrej Industries Limited, Nadir Godrej, read a poem in place of a speech. With the line "It is no longer climate change inside an acceptable change, a crisis is what it's about with fires, floods, as well as drought," Godrej began a poem that lasted for more than six minutes.
His opinions on the climate catastrophe and the broader need for action are discussed in the poem that he read aloud on Thursday in Davos, Switzerland. It also describes the work his organization has done on blue carbon projects.
Blue Carbon Project
The term "blue carbon" describes carbon that has been absorbed by the world's oceans and coastal ecosystems. Coastal wetlands retain nearly 50% of the carbon that is trapped in ocean sediments, despite taking up just about 5% of the total land surface.
The restoration of coastal ecosystems, particularly the mangrove forests that are excellent carbon sinks, has been the focus of numerous programs in recent years. Virginijus Sinkevicius, the commissioner for environment, oceans, and fisheries for the European Union, stated during the panel discussion that "without a blue, there is no green.
The agreement to safeguard 30% of land and water considered significant for biodiversity by 2030, according to her, is crucial in ensuring that the ocean ecosystems remain healthy. The agreement was ratified by nations at the COP15 United Nations Biodiversity Conference, which was held in Montreal in December of the previous year.
