This is what brought 80 delegates — teachers and students — from 28 Asian and European countries together on Saturday.

“It is not just the duty of world leaders to come up with solutions to save the planet, but educationists can also bring a great deal of change,” said Aarti Khosla, senior manager, programme communications and campaigns of WWF India.
