In the heart of Costa Rica lies a verdant wonder, the Children's Eternal Rainforest (Bosque Eterno de los Niños). This isn't just any forest; it's a story of hope, a testament to the power of youthful dreams. Born from the imagination of Swedish schoolchildren and nurtured by a global community, this rainforest symbolizes a united stand against climate change.
It started with a simple idea - what if children around the world planted a million trees in every country? This vision, conceived in 2007 by a nine-year-old German student named Felix Finkbeiner, blossomed into Plant-for-the-Planet, an international youth organization leading global reforestation efforts.
Fashion is a dynamic force that shapes our lives and carefully ties together personal expressions and societal trends. In the vibrant threads of this constantly changing field, shoes often play a supporting part and go unnoticed in the big story of style. But do we know the fact that currently, shoes are playing a significant role in carbon footprint? A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, or product. It is typically measured in tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year. Carbon footprints can vary greatly depending on factors such as diet, transportation, energy usage, and product consumption.
Dubai will host this year's UN climate summit - the 28th Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that will bring nearly 200 countries to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to discuss progress on environment, or rather, the lack of it. The conference to be held from November 30 to December 12 with numerous side events will start off on a critical note over the fact that it is being hosted by an oil rich nation - one of the biggest fossil fuel producers. Like the previous COPs, the Dubai COP too will bring countries, corporates, environmental activists and concerned citizens to take stock of the planet's health.
Air pollution has been an important concern in recent years, not only in India but around the globe as well.

In the din of global politics over the Russia-Ukraine war and the China-Taiwan tensions, an important news item on climate change and children got buried in the media. On August 28 this year, the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Rights of the Child said that climate change is impacting children's health, lives and development. It called upon governments to take action to protect boys and girls from a deepening climate change crisis.
Last week while coming back from Yamuna Nagar to Delhi on the way from Karnal National Highway to Delhi, I along with my colleague Arnab, saw mounds of Fire on the agriculture fields almost every half a kilometre. Our driver concurred, that it was stubble, which was being burnt. We counted up to 7-8 such mounds, before getting into the possible effects of it, especially on Delhiites-even odd for vehicles, schools getting shut for few days, work from home for employees and so on. The list included almost everything, which we had experienced or heard of in the last few years. The story is not going to be any different this year either.
