Shillong, Dec 31: In a year-end gift to the people, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Tuesday announced the launch of the ‘Mobius Young Climate Leaders’ project, an initiative aimed at promoting education, economic, and environmental sustainability in the seven north-eastern states of India.
The project is being launched by North East Leaders Connect (NELC) in collaboration with the Möbius Foundation and the University of Cambridge.
The ‘Mobius Young Climate Leaders’ project is aligned with the Tawang Declaration and will focus on empowering young leaders to take action on sustainability and drive positive change in their communities. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the region, promoting sustainable development and driving economic growth.
“We are grateful to the Möbius Foundation and the University of Cambridge for their support in this initiative,” said Chief Minister Conrad Sangma. “This project will provide a platform for young leaders to develop their skills and knowledge in sustainability, and to work together to address the pressing environmental and economic challenges facing our region.”
Launched in 2011 in Kohima, North East Leader Connect (NELC), earlier known as Young Leaders Connect, is a common platform for young leaders and achievers from the North-East. NELC is an annual conclave where young change-makers and leaders from diverse fields like business, politics, academia, sports, music and culture come together, put their heads and hearts together to plan where they would like to see India vis-à-vis North East in the future, plan a roadmap, and strategize on interventions at the grassroots and policy level.
It is a dynamic community and network of like-minded leaders and achievers from North-East India. The members include policymakers, business innovators, journalists, social entrepreneurs, educators, healthcare experts, sports personalities, development practitioners and more.
With a vision to act as a catalyst for the promotion of a vibrant and robust economy, good governance, sustaining the ecology, and preserving our cultural identity, NELC brings together various young minds and leaders to network, be mentored and collaborate towards building a vibrant, dynamic and cohesive North East. NELC seeks to develop greater awareness and understanding essentially through, ‘Connect’ ‘Exchange” and ‘Strengthening’ of issues that affect political, social, and economic development of our country vis-à-vis the North-East.
