Q:

How do you protect the pulse of the planet?

A:

I contribute to protecting the pulse of the planet through my personal life choices and through my work. For the past couple of years, I started to change some of my personal life activities like reusing or cutting down on plastic products as far as possible and lowering my consumption of meat, which will create a positive impact on the environment. Besides my individual acts, my work enables me to create public awareness through our website about ICIMOD’s mission and vision and its key findings to protect the mountains and people of the region.
