Dy. CM launches Bengaluru Climate Action Club
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday launched Bengaluru Climate Action Club, to bring climate action to schools and colleges in the city in an institutional manner. 'Today, we have launched the Bengaluru Climate Action Cell. There was a suggestion that the club should have at least 10 members, but I have decided that it should have a minimum of 25 members. There are around 7,000 schools in Bengaluru. After starting here, we can expand to other regions as well. Bengaluru is known as the Garden City — we must preserve and nurture that identity. This responsibility needs to be passed on to the next generation, and that is the purpose behind launching this initiative,' the Minister said. The event was hosted by the Bengaluru Climate Action Cell of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which is guided by the Bengaluru Climate Action Plan (BCAP) on account of World Environment Day (celebrated on June 5). A manual and SOP to enhance the blue-green infrastructure of the city were also released on the occasion. 'Today, we have presented the Blue Green Awards. Going forward, more encouragement will be given, and more competitions will be organised. Various civic organisations are also actively working in this area. Today, we received 175 applications; in the future, it may increase to 500–1000 applications. Necessary support will be provided to the clubs in schools,' Mr. Shivakumar said.
