Sustainability is about economic growth as well as environmental protection.
Stalwarts from the field of environment are also of the same opinion that a healthy ecology is the basis for a healthy economy. Hence, both ecology and economy go hand in hand. Realising the importance of this topic, Socio Story Foundation (SSF) is organising a virtual conference that will see experts discussing and providing the probable solutions for a balance between ecology and economy.
One-of-its-kind in India, SSF will be organising the event ‘Aligning Economy with Ecology’ on November 7, 2020, from 4 pm onwards.
Manoj Pachauri, Founder of Socio Story, said, “The objective of the event is emphasized to create awareness about various aspects of the environment and sustainability among youth. Climate change is real and it’s one of the most pressing issues in the world that requires our attention. Socio Story believes that awareness on climate change is important in order to sensitize youth on sustainable living.”
