THE INAUGURAL SESSIONS

MISCELLANY
Our world is no stranger to earth-shaking crises; but it has rarely been as sorely tested as over the last two years. A virus and its variants have brought it to its knees on one hand, while there are no signs of a slowdown in the speed at which climate change seems to be wreaking havoc. No one is spared; these twin troubles are touching everyone with equal vehemence -- the rich as much as the poor, the developed as much as the developing. Our world is teetering on the edge, and this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge to its survival today
HOW ARE WE TO COPE WITH THIS?
Centre for Science and Environment’s signature media conclave, the Anil Agarwal Dialogue, is back after a pandemic- and lockdown-induced hiatus of almost two years. Over 64 journalists are joining us for three days of intensive sessions with some of India’s leading experts, trying to unravel this twin challenge and its implications, and examine possible ways to move ahead. Like its previous versions, the Dialogue is being held onsite at CSE’s state-of-the-art residential facility in Nimli (Alwar, Rajasthan), Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI).
