On the occasion of World Environment Day, Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar, President, Pune International Centre (PIC) said that Pune has the capacity to show the entire country how it can combat climate change.

"As Pune, we have to create an achievable target to combat the climate crisis by the year 2020. We have to take a 20-20-20 pledge which includes increasing the green cover by 20 percent, reduce water consumption by 20 percent and increase the use of solar power by 20 percent. Pune needs action leadership more than thought leadership if you want to fight climate change." said Dr. Mashelkar while unveiling a special report called 'Pathway to taking Pune to Carbon by 2030' by Pune International Centre on the occasion of World Environment Day.
