" "We do not want to throw waste into bins. We do not want to stop using plastic. We do not want to minimize mining. If we keep destroying nature, nature will destroy us. Bearing this in mind and with the aim to advocate the dire need for conscious efforts, I believe that being a UN Millennium Fellow would help me by providing a global platform, several opportunities, and collaborations with devoted organisations, making the exposure invaluable. " "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Pariyavaranpunah Shatsanskar Healing The Environment
“The Earth is what we all have in common. Its healing begins not with policy alone, but with the fusion of justice, innovation, and awakened community action.”
Our Millennium Fellowship Project, Pariyavaranpunah Shatsanskar (Healing the Environment), is a pioneering initiative focused on the synergistic achievement of SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). We aim to create an integrated model that intertwines robust environmental legal aid,ensuring ecological justice;with the implementation of innovative, local-scale ecological solutions. Furthermore, we prioritize global collaboration to integrate cutting-edge research into both policy and urban practice. Our commitment to action is evidenced by proactive grassroots engagement, including conducting immersive workshops in government schools to empower future urban custodians, executing a successful Sustainability Drive to promote tangible practices within communities, and gaining crucial insights into future urban energy solutions through our participation in a key Hydrogen Conference. This project stands at the nexus of law, sustainable urban development, and community empowerment, driving systemic change for environmental healing.
About the Millennium Fellow
Simran Sethia is a sincere and meticulous third-year law student at Symbiosis Law School, NOIDA. She believes that 'conscious effort' is a gesture that can be extended by anyone with whatever they have to offer; that could heal individuals personally, and the world at large. Being passionately invested in environmental law, through in-depth research on policies and statutes, she intends to reflect the same belief in her project, which also aims at the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal of Climate Change. In a world where we can only fall back on our traditional roots, she desires to integrate the actions of individuals with laws governing this field.
