" Collaboration and cooperation is key to achieving the SDGs, and that one of the major reasons why I applied for Millennium Fellowship. Being a part of this great Fellowship will give me the network of like minds both here on my campus and in the international space. Creative and problem solving mindset is an amazing 'come along' package of the Millennium Fellowship.
I do the work I do because we need to save our planet and develop it,sustainably. It's our collective responsibility as humans. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: GreenSteps for Tomorrow X Protect the Ecosystem
The project, 'GreenSteps for Tomorrow X Protect the Ecosystem' was born out of the urgent need to address and raise awareness on the alarming dangers posed by climate change viz the actions of individuals, organizations and industries that contribute to climate change.
The project raises the view that individuals are a very core of implementing and enhancing climate action for a better world and environment.
