Climate Action Week
September 2019
With the arrival of Greta Thunberg to New York on a ship, the excitement of the people increased and the determination to take action for the climate became stronger. Thousands showed their support in various ways by participating in the climate march, Fridays For Future campaign, interfaith conversations, and UN Climate Summit organized by the Secretary General.
It was fascinating to see thousands of people from all over the country marching the streets of Manhattan expressing their deep concern for our precious planet. Equally fascinating to know that it didn’t just happened here in NY, but in many major cities across the world.
The Brahma Kumaris joined forces with Green Faith Fellowship as part of an Interfaith group in support of the climate march held on Friday, September 20. The March was inaugurated with prayers from various faiths during which the BKs shared a short meditation.
The BKs also attended the UN Climate Summit with youths and shared about sustainable yogic agriculture which supports many of the SDGs.
