Selections by Centre for Environment Education (CEE), to pick the team that will go to Durban for UN's convention on climate change, students from Gujarat could only make it to the top 100.
In the recent selection process conducted by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE), to pick the team that will go to Durban for UN's convention on climate change, students from Gujarat could only make it to the top 100. Out of the 100, two were from Rachna School, and one from Anand Niketan School, Shilaj. However, of the top 20 students, none were from Gujarat.
Pramod Sharma, coordinator, Paryavaran Mitra programme, CEE, explained: "After figuring in the top 100, students securing the top scores were asked to submit an essay and of these, the top 20 students were to be selected as a final contestant group. But students from Gujarat did not clear this step. CEE had conducted a national level online competition on October 4 from which 100 were selected and the remaining process followed."
Furthermore, these 20 students participated in the National Leadership Workshop, 'Coming Together Today to Save Tomorrow' from October 17-19 at CEE. A panel of experts interacted with them and from these four students will be selected the ones who will be a part of the Indian delegation visiting Durban.
Durban will host the 17th Conference of Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), from November 28 - December 9. With a view to sensitizing young children to environmental concerns and exposing them to international developments in this area, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India had decided to include four students as part of this year's delegation to Durban and designated CEE as the nodal agency for conducting the same. Schools that were part of MoEF's school Eco-club programme.
