Hyderabad: The South Asian People’s Action on Climate Crisis (SAPACC), a rainbow coalition of organizations and individuals, has organised a four-day conference on People’s Action on climate change titled, “Keep the Climate, Change the Economy” 18-21 Sept 2019, at Hyderabad.
The conference deliberated upon people’s action in South Asia to mitigate climate crises and intends to appeal to South Asian governments to make declarations and follow them with appropriate actions to mitigate the climate crisis and to table resolutions in the United Nations for taking urgent action at the global level.
SAPACC was formed in May 2019 to bring together youth, women, farmers, workers, fisherfolk, scientists, and people of all walks of life who are concerned about the impacts of climate change.
The objective of the Hyderabad conference was to get South Asian civil society organizations to become aware of, and contribute more to mitigate the impacts of climate change, which will be particularly severe in most South Asian countries.
SAPACC will work with South Asian civil societies to take urgent measures to reduce the risk of climate change impacts and influence governance and policymakers to take all measures urgently and contribute for achieving the goals of Paris UN Climate Change Conference. The conference deliberated on the core demands of SAPACC.
