Lucknow: Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh called for an urgent, collective response to the climate crisis while presenting a data-rich, forward-thinking vision rooted in environmental responsibility and digital innovation during a seminar organised by Lok Adhikar Manch at National PG College on Saturday. Citing the global 1.5°C temperature rise and the risk of extinction of a million species, Singh warned that the world stands at a 'now or never' juncture. Referring to Lucknow's alarming 300 days of hazardous AQI levels, he appealed for a citywide mass movement to safeguard the environment. Highlighting both local and national initiatives, he lauded India's Net Zero Emission pledge and Uttar Pradesh's plantation of over 200 crore trees. In Sarojininagar, his initiatives include the establishment of 150 Tarashakti Kendras, distribution of 30,000 eco-friendly bags, and the Environment Warriors campaign, which has honoured forest personnel and engaged over 1,000 students. He also announced the launch of an AI crash course at the Ran Bahadur Singh Digital Education and Youth Empowerment Centres, and donated 10 computers to National PG College. Stressing that "Lucknow, the Land of the Learned, must lead in climate solutions," he advocated for a carbon credit market, solar energy adoption, and reduction of food waste. Justice DP Singh presented MLA Singh with two of his authored books at the event.
