As a young girl, Prachi asked a simple question - What can I do about climate change?
Prachi spent a year travelling across India, covering stories of youth, farmers, and waste-picker communities, to understand the impact of climate change in day-to-day lives of people. Then she began mobilising citizens to tackle climate change through technology, advocacy and grass-root action. Today, her app for climate action - Cool The Globe is used by over 1,00,000 citizens from 150 countries. In this talk, she talks about her journey of building a citizen-led app and a movement for climate action and the miracles that can happen when citizens unite to bring about a change.
