#WorldEnvironmentDay2026@UNDP_India Resident Representative @angelalusigi speaks to @CNNnews18
"We often think of environmental problems as global problems. But our individual actions matter. They become part of much larger community efforts, supported by government and local institutions. Resilience and livelihoods are built locally"
This Environment Day, small changes can make a big difference. Setting ACs between 24-28°C, using fans wisely, and installing water-saving devices can lower energy bills, conserve resources, and reduce pressure on the environment. Every responsible choice counts in the fight against climate change.
