Mr. Sahgal began with his talk with the help of a powerpoint presentation showing the effects of climate change in the recent past on Mumbai city. One of the major incidents he brought to the fore was the massive floods and the overflowing of the Mithi river and the damage it caused in 2005. He spoke about simple changes that our government should undertake to make this city more sustainable.
After speaking to the group for about an hour, he held an interactive session where people from the audience asked him pertinent questions about the future of our country, how they could help and what the next steps should be. After discussing various ideas with the group, the event drew to a close.
After the event, the attendees proceeded to have dinner while browsing through the latest issues of Sanctuary magazine.
