Invitation: Delhi Youth Summit on Climate (DYSoC) 2010

[Govind Singh]

Dear All,

This is to invite you all to the Delhi Youth Summit on Climate (DYSoC
2010), to be held on the 5th and 6th of June, 2010 in the Auditorium
of India's first PM's residence at Teen Murti House. The place is a
stone's throw from both the residence of the President of India and
the Parliament of India. (Nearest Metro Station: Central
Secretariat).

Delhi, the seat of power of the world's largest democracy, is a
rapidly developing urban center and features in the list of top ten
most populated cities in the world. One of the oldest continually
inhabited cities, Delhi today is facing the dual pressure of
development as well as an ever increasing population.

In the climate constrained world of today, 'development' itself is
seen as a threat to the environment and it is indeed 'development'
which attracts the workforce and contributes to the increasing urban
population. However, development--in the real sense of the word--is
essential for the growth and prosperity of a region and of a nation as
a whole. Development should be sustainable and should not discount the
needs and requirements of the future generation.

With this as the backdrop, Delhi Greens, and a series of environmental
organizations, is calling for DYSoC 2010 at the first Prime Minister's
residence in Teen Murti House . The two day summit will take place on
5th and 6th of June, 2010 and will be an ideal platform to mark the
World Environment Day. DYSoC 2010 will bring together the youth from
across the capital city and attempt to understand the various urban
environmental issues in the wake of climate change. Since this is the
Commonwealth Games Year, DYSoC will not be a stand alone event but
will invite the participating delegates in initiating as well getting
involved in various green projects (at least 4) for a better Delhi! We
therefore urge all to participate, learn and get involved so as to
help shape the future of the city, for all of us and for generations
to come.

Registration is free, but all interested must fill the Delegate
Registration Form available (also attached with this mail) here:

a DYSoC 2010 participation certificate after successful completion of
two day programme. Remember, it is our future at stake and it we who
must take charge, before there is nothing left to take charge of.

Come, take the first step, and be the Change: DYSoC 2010

With best regards,
Govind Singh
