| JU VC launches environment awareness campaign in Srinagar | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 19- Stressing the need to make the students and youth of the country aware about the issues of global warming, climate change and energy conservation, Professor Varun Sahni, the Vice Chancellor of University of Jammu today said that these burning issues were no longer any hypothesis but were “real issues of public debate”.
Speaking at the inauguration of Eni Children’s Education Programme on “Petroleum Geology, Global Warming and Energy Efficiency Campaign” here at S. P College Srinagar today which was organized by the University of Jammu in collaboration with Maghreb Petroleum Research Group, University College London, Directorate of School Education, J&K and S.P. College Srinagar, Professor Sahni, himself a internationally acclaimed defense analyst, said that Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was already working on the issues of global warming and climate but one needed to understand that there were human activities behind issues like global warming which have some consequences on the planetary ecosystems.
“Such issues will not be resolved by any single country unless all of us join hands together. In fact, the issues of concern should not be development versus environment or energy versus environment,” he said adding the policy dilemmas should never be about choosing good or bad but the two goods. The policy dilemmas before the policy makers, he added, should be to use both of these together so that energy and development can go together.
“What is extremely important is to plan a policy by which we are able to strike a right balance between the two and thus work towards making our planet a better place to live,” asserted Prof Sahni adding that it was extremely important to make our children aware and understand what are the challenges ahead in our planetary ecosystem.
He said it was not only important for the students and youth to understand the challenges and issues in our planetary ecosystems but it was equally important for them to spread out this message among their friends, students, brothers, sisters and the whole society. He also said that the University of Jammu is doing a tremendous job in making the children, our future generation, aware about the issues and challenges in the field of energy conservation and global warming which are extremely important.
