Collaborative global response a must to combat climate change effectively: Dr Sanju Purohit

Till a few years ago, people did not pay much heed to the issue of Climate Change, but some recent occurrences like the Polar Bear shooting in Iceland and flooding in Sahara Desert have raised an urgent alarm. To gather more information about the same, we spoke with Dr Sanju Purohit, a scholar and expert in Geology, Natural Resources and Climate Change. She spoke in detail about the recent incidences as well as issues such as the impact of migration & urbanization in the Indian context. Here are the excerpts from the interview:
