Humanitarian Projects - Project Planning Describe the community needs that your project will address. Eco-Education Park will give unique educational Experience through direct exposure to natural flora & environmental models in one place and under one roof. Lots have been spoken on global warming and climate change across the globe but awareness towards possible solutions to combat the disaster is not available under one roof. No such worthy projects have been implemented till date which gives a complete solution .An complete informative library both physical and digital along with various working models will be set up which provides guidance on environment friendly solutions to all our youngsters and community in large. The park will inspire and sensitize the individuals to practice eco friendly lifestyle and carry out sustainable development to abate ongoing Climate Crisis. This Eco Education Park is the Urgent Need of the Time. If we have to protect our Mother Earth, its NOW. How did your project team identify these needs. Since the industrial revolution and economic development has brought in deforestration, depletion of natural resources due to increasing demands and creating waste which can’t be decomposed!. The global annual temperature has been rising exponentially. Our planet has never been hotter. Rising sea levels. Raging storms. Searing heat. Ferocious fires. Severe drought. Punishing floods. The effects of climate change are already threatening our health, our communities, our economy, our security, and our children’s future. Curbing dangerous climate change requires very deep cuts in emissions, as well as the use of alternatives to fossil fuels worldwide.Countries around the globe committed themselves to 2015 Paris Climate agreement, but unfortunately we’re not working fast enough. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, scientists tell us that we need to reduce global carbon emissions by as much as 40 percent by 2030. For that to happen, the global community must take immediate, concrete steps: to decarbonize electricity generation by transitioning from fossil fuel based production to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, electrify our cars and trucks, maximise energy efficiency in our buildings. We have to act now. We have to take initiative to educate and empower our people towards environmental stewardship programs to PROTECT OUR PLANET.
