Jagdeep Dhankhar, Vice President of India, has acknowledged that the greatest threat to humanity at the moment is climate change. Speaking at the 19th CII India Africa Business Conclave in New Delhi recently, he said, “I’m confident that deliberations will… It is critical for all countries to collectively focus their efforts on combating the greatest threat to humanity- climate change.”
He further added, “This conclave is an opportunity for us to come together to deliberate on contemporaneously relevant things and synergize our efforts towards creating a common future for the well-being of all.”
This is a welcome change, what with a powerful figure acknowledging that climate change is the biggest issue at the moment. If only more leaders spoke as clearly and accepted this reality as easily, the world would be a much better place.
He also said that the theme of this India-Africa business conclave, creating one future is deeply embedded in our civilization ethos and amplified in the motto of India’s G20 presidency, which stands For “One Earth, One Family, One Future.’
This event was organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India and is set to be a landmark moment in the strengthening of India-Africa relations.
