My Journey to COP30 as a Youth

(SAVE & PLANT TREES! Cover on COP30 Youth Voices featuring Priyanka Chakraborty)

Representing India at COP30 has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my climate journey. As a young student, author, and environmental advocate from India, being part of a global platform again, where world leaders, experts, and youth come together to shape the future of climate action is a huge honour.

This year, I mainly focused on amplifying global youth voices at COP, climate education, and the role of young people in driving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our Event: COP30 & Youth

(Event Poster: Youth and COP30)

Through SAVE & PLANT TREES!, we organised a event titled “COP30 & Youth.”

This programme brought COP30 youth from around the for a meaningful conversation on climate advocacy, youth empowerment, and the collective actions needed for a sustainable future. The event took place on 16th November 2025 at around 8:30 am (Belem time).

It served as a space for sharing our thoughts, learning, and building connections with youth leaders across the world.

COP - The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30):

Every COP is a reminder that climate action is not just about negotiations — it is about people, communities, and the responsibility we share. As young voices grow stronger, platforms like these become essential in shaping a greener and fairer world.

I am grateful to represent my country again, contribute to global discussions, and continue my work through SAVE & PLANT TREES! in empowering youth for climate leadership.

"Together let's raise our voices for a greener today and tomorrow!"

Thank you!

My Visit to a Government School | World Environment Day 2025

On 5th June 2025, on the occasion of World Environment Day, I had the honour of being invited to a government school in India. As an Environmentalist and Educator/Mentor, it was truly heartening to engage with a group of young, bright minds who are not only curious but deeply eager to contribute to real climate action. I spent the day connecting with students and introducing them to the importance of environmental awareness—discussing simple yet impactful actions they can take to make a difference. From understanding the impact of plastic pollution to the benefits of planting trees and conserving water, their enthusiasm was truly inspiring. The teachers, too, were incredibly supportive and enthusiastic, eager to understand more and pass on this awareness to future generations. This experience reaffirmed my belief that change begins with awareness, and the seeds of that change can—and must—be sown in our classrooms. These children are not just the future; they are the hope of today. If ...

More Trees Planted 🌳 by Priyanka Chakraborty

As a Climate Activist myself, I'm very happy to share with you all about the Guava Tree Sapling. In today's world, environmental problems are becoming increasingly severe, with climate change, deforestation, and air pollution being just a few of the major issues we face. However, one simple solution that we can all contribute to is planting trees. Trees are essential for the health of our planet and can have a significant impact on improving our environment. Why are trees important? Trees are important for many reasons, including: 1. Producing oxygen: Trees are essential for producing oxygen, which is necessary for all living things to survive. 2. Cleaning the air: Trees absorb pollutants and other harmful gases from the air, improving air quality. 3. Preventing soil erosion: Trees he...

My Planting Tree Journey: How I Started With A Small Step For Our Planet Earth

I have always been passionate about the environment and wanted to do something impactful for it. That's why I decided to start planting trees in my backyard, in my neighbourhood, and in any place that needed some greenery. With this, I decided to start my initiative, SAVE & PLANT TREES!, whose objective is to basically promote sustainability and climate advocacy by simply planting trees and preserving them. Planting trees is not only a way to beautify the surroundings but also a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, provide oxygen, prevent soil erosion, and create habitats for wildlife. Trees are also known to have positive impacts on human health, such as reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing cognitive function. More greenery means more improvement in various aspects of life and also for this planet. My journey basically started when I planted a few tree saplings that I bought from a local nursery. I learned how to care for them, how to water them, how to prune them...
