Demand: Make Vedic Shanti Path UN Climate Peace Prayer
Engineer Piyush Javeria, Honorary Secretary of The Institution of Engineers India Local Centre, expressed his views on the challenges being faced by climate change in Udaipur city like biodiversity, water scarcity, agricultural impact, tourism dependence etc. Keynote speaker Dr. Anil Mehta expressed his views in the context of the United Nations Climate Summit COP-29 held last Sunday in Azerbaijan. Mehta said he urged the participants from around the world, including UN officials, to adopt the Vedic Peace Path as the UN Climate Peace Prayer. Mehta said that the Vedic Shanti recitation is ॐ द्यौः शंतिरान्तरिक्ष शंतिः, Prithvi Shantirap: Shantiroshdhay: Shanti: Vanaspatay: Shantirvishve Deva: Shantibrahma Shanti:, Sarva Shanti:, Shanti Rev Shanti:, Sa Ma Shantiredhi; Om Shanti: Shanti: Shanti: is a climate peace prayer. It includes water, land, sky, space, forest, garden, building, village, city, every living being, every particle of the world, God (nature) and all forms of supreme consciousness. This climate peace prayer, which calls for peace in the world, leads to environment-oriented conduct, thoughts and behavior.
Need of Rs 100 lakh crore, getting Rs 25 lakh crore, how will the target be achieved?
Mehta said that there was a lack of transparency in COP 29. To deal with the climate change crisis, an amount of about Rs 25 lakh crore is being given to the developing countries by the developed countries and the Global North. The basic need of the Global South is Rs 100 lakh crore and the said amount is very less. At the conclusion of the conference, India voiced the voice of the entire Global South and expressed its protest. In this era of lack of climate finance, to control and resolve the climate change crisis, we will have to move from SDG based sustainable goals to green based action. Dr. Giriraj Nyati said that the industry is moving towards achieving environmental goals through automation and energy consumption control. There will be tremendous changes in the industry in the coming time and giving the example of a car, he said that whatever facility you want in a car, the motor company will be able to provide that facility accordingly.
