Lauding TERI SAS and Dalmia Cement for organizing Climate Jamboree, Sh. Suresh Prabhu, Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India, said, "Climate Change is a great leveller and will impact everyone in the world. Those who have no capacity to cope with it will be the worst sufferers. Today, India is in a situation where like the rest of the world, we are facing its impact too. But unlike rich countries, we do not have the resources to cope with it. The droughts, floods, natural disasters, water scarcity, heat waves and many more impacts that we see are a symptom of a deep malaise called climate change. Today, we all and most importantly youth, need to work towards mitigating and creating awareness about climate change and be change-agents."

Mr. Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director, Dalmia Bharat Group said, "Tackling climate change is the need of the hour. Unfortunately, we all play some role in contributing to this change and it is imperative for us to act on it now. In India, Nature has always been treated as Mother and it is meant to provide and nurture and not to exploit. I strongly believe that our children should be educated about our ancient values that underline the relationship between humans and nature and the importance to maintain a balance between our needs and capacity of Mother Nature to sustain them. I am happy that Dalmia Bharat Group has partnered with TERI School of Advanced Studies for Climate Jamboree, educating the young minds of today as they will be the ambassadors of change for tomorrow."
