This is the story of a young girl
Who didn’t care about the environment…
Until she came across some very real faces
behind the catastrophic impacts of climate change.

Prachi spent a year travelling across India
Working with waste-pickers, farmers, children and citizen groups
to understand the impact of climate change
in the day-to-day lives of people.

Inspired by these experiences,
she built an app – Cool The Globe,
to bring global citizens together
on a common goal to save our planet, reaching 25 million people from over 100 countries.

In this session, she shares the story of
the sheer power of citizen actions and her experiences in coaching and training. 
She talks about what we can do to save our planet,
and how real sustainability enriches
and empowers every aspect of our lives.
