Nature Club, Haoreibi has commended climate activist Licypriya Kangujam for her activities at the Climate Change Conference COP28 being held in Dubai.
In a release, Club president Sh Ruhikumar pointed out that execution of infrastructure projects, extraction of coal, exploration of oil and natural gas under the pretext of development are some prime causes for the adverse change in climatic condition across the world.
While noting that the on-going ethnic conflict in the state is impeding forest conservation efforts; he cautioned that launch of new road projects sans proper planning and environmental assessment, and failure to check deforestation will further deepen the climate crisis.
