This agenda is a comprehensive plan for advancing people, the planet, and prosperity, while strengthening global peace and freedom. It recognizes the urgent need to eradicate poverty in all forms and dimensions, and emphasizes the critical importance of collaborative partnership among all countries and stakeholders. It aims to liberate humanity from poverty and environmental degradation, and to steer the world towards a sustainable and resilient future. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals such as –

And 169 targets outlined in this Agenda reflect its vast scope and universal aspirations, with a commitment to leaving no one behind. They wish to leverage the necessary resources to implement the agenda through a renewed global partnership for sustainable development, based on strong solidarity and focused on the needs of the most vulnerable, with the participation of all stakeholders.

WEC strives to focus mainly on the 8th goal of the sustainable development i.e. “Decent work and Economic growth”.  Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

  • To Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services
  • To Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, with developed countries taking the lead
  • By 2020, significantly reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training
  • By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products

WEC, through its ambitious ‘The Environment Protection Bank campaign’ aims to play a crucial role in achieving the Agenda’s objectives, which, if fulfilled, will greatly improve the lives of everyone and transform the world for the better. This campaign will provide students and teachers with opportunities to learn about the pressing environmental issues facing our world and to involve in meaningful activities that can make a great difference. Through this campaign, individuals will be cheered to reduce their carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainable lifestyles. In addition to raising awareness about environmental concerns, the campaign will also raise a sense of community and encourage people to work together to protect our planet.

This campaign is currently implementing programs which are designed to speed up the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in various ways, including addressing interlink ages between different goals. Like, increasing awareness and education can contribute to the achievement of multiple goals, such as SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), by promoting knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, and stakeholder engagement.

World Environment Council is actively involved in communicating environmental education through various activities, programmes and campaigns in schools and colleges. Educational institutions can invite the Council to provide environmental education to future generations, emphasizing the importance of protecting our planet and promoting sustainable practices. By taking action on multiple fronts, the campaign foresees to creating a more sustainable and resilient future for everyone.


How To Achieve Zero Carbon Emission

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth.

On the occasion of National Handloom Day PM Modi Today launched the e-portal ‘Bhartiya Vastra evam Shilpa Kosh – A Repository of Textiles & Crafts’ developed by the National Institute of Fashion Technology. The Prime Minister also visited the exhibition and interacted with the artisan, craft and weavers. 

In his address, the Prime Minister underlined the contribution of India’s handloom industry and emphasized the importance of preserving India’s diverse clothing traditions. He noted that the launch of ‘Bhartiya Vastra evam Shilpa Kosh’ would help compile and showcase India’s rich clothing heritage. The Prime Minister also spoke about the Swadeshi Movement and its role in connecting Indian weavers with the people, inspiring the government to choose National Handloom Day.

The Prime Minister emphasized the need to promote Swadeshi and support the handloom industry, which has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. He noted that the sale of Khadi clothes has increased by five times, and its demand in foreign nations is also increasing. The Prime Minister also highlighted the success of his Mann Ki Baat program in promoting Khadi products. The Prime Minister recalled his conversations with the weavers before the start of the program and welcomed the various handloom clusters from across the country in today’s grand celebrations. He also observed the diversity in clothing ranging from the tribal communities in far-fetched areas to people living in the snow-clad mountains, and from people in the coastal regions to those living in the desert as well as the clothing available in the markets of India. 

Handloom Weaver Shri. Rajendra Ankam from Solapur (Maharashtra)

The Prime Minister expressed delight that the need to enlist and compile the diverse clothing of India has come to fruition today with the launch of ‘Bhartiya Vastra evam Shilpa Kosh’. The launch of the e-portal and the Prime Minister’s address at the National Handloom Day Celebration reflect the government’s commitment to preserving India’s rich textile heritage and promoting Swadeshi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the National Handloom Day Celebration at Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, and launched the e-portal ‘Bhartiya Vastra evam Shilpa Kosh – A Repository of Textiles & Crafts’ developed by the National Institute of Fashion Technology. The Prime Minister highlighted the contribution of the handloom industry of India and said that the confluence of old and new defines the new India of today. He also emphasized the need to repeat the Swadeshi resolution to support the weavers and handicraftsmen in the upcoming festivities of Raksha Bandhan, Ganesh Utsav, Dussehra, and Deepavali.

China introducing new measures to restrict the amount of time children and teenagers can spend on their phones, marking to combat internet addiction and promote “good morality” and “socialist values” among teen-agers. 

The Cyberspace Administration of China, the country’s top internet regulator, has released a proposal that would require all mobile devices, apps, and app stores to include a built-in “minor mode” limiting daily screen time to a maximum of two hours, depending on the age group. If approved, these restrictions would expand on existing measures implemented in recent years as part of Beijing’s efforts to reduce screen time among children and minimize exposure to “undesirable information”. Under the draft rules, children and teen-agers using devices in slight mode would have online applications automatically close when their respective time limits are reached.

They would also be provided with “age-based content”. The proposed regulations stipulate that individuals under 18 would be unable to access their screens between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. while using the minor mode. Children under eight would be limited to 40 minutes of phone usage per day, while those between eight and 16 would have an hour of screen time. Teenagers aged 16 to 18 would be allowed a maximum of two hours. Additionally, all age groups would receive reminders to take breaks after using their devices for more than 30 minutes.

The proposal also calls for mobile internet service providers to actively create content that promotes “core socialist values” and fosters a sense of national community. However, parents would have the ability to override time restrictions, and certain educational and emergency services would be exempt from the limits. The potential effectiveness of these measures may depend on parental support and compliance, as children sometimes use their parents’ accounts to access online content. The regulations could assist parents in supervising their children’s screen time and setting limits.

The introduction of these new measures may pose challenges for tech companies, as they would be responsible for enforcing the regulations. The announcement of the proposed rules led to a decline in the Hong Kong-listed shares of several major Chinese internet firms. The Chinese government’s efforts to limit screen time among minors align with previous actions, such as restricting online gaming for individuals under 18 and implementing parental control measures. Platforms like Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok) and Kuaishou have already introduced features to limit screen time for young users.

Overall, China’s proposal to limit minors to two hours of phone usage per day reflects its commitment to addressing internet addiction and promoting healthier online habits among young people.

During the meeting, the 12th volume of the report of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language was approved, which will be presented to the President. The meeting focused on the importance of promoting and strengthening Indian languages and the official language. In his address, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized the significance of respecting heritage and erasing the signs of slavery as part of the “Panch Pran” (five vital elements) outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He highlighted the need for all Indian languages and the official language to demonstrate their strength for the complete implementation of these elements. Shah emphasized that respecting heritage is incomplete without respecting language and that acceptance of the official language can only be achieved by giving due respect to local languages. He emphasized that promoting all Indian languages, including Hindi, is essential for empowering the nation and that there should be no competition between Hindi and local languages.

Shah mentioned that Prime Minister Modi has taken the initiative to introduce engineering and medical courses in 10 languages, and these courses will soon be available in all Indian languages. He emphasized that this moment will mark the rise of local and official languages. Shah also highlighted the importance of promoting Indian languages on a global platform, noting that Prime Minister Modi proudly presents Hindi and other Indian languages in his speeches. He commended the efforts to connect different languages and create momentum for the language movement. Shah emphasized that acceptance of the official language should come from goodwill, inspiration, and encouragement rather than just through laws and circulars. He praised the resilience of Indian languages and their dictionaries, which have remained intact even after the period of slavery. Shah acknowledged that languages have played a crucial role in uniting the country.

The meeting also approved the 12th volume of the report, which focuses on the theme of “Simplification.” Shah expressed gratitude to all the members of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language and expressed confidence that the committee will continue to work towards the promotion and dissemination of the official language in the future. The meeting was attended by Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language Shri Bhartruhari Mahtab, Union Ministers of State for Home Affairs Shri Ajay Kumar Mishra and Shri Nishith Pramanik, and other committee members
