It’s time that we work collectively and personally,” Adityanath said. “Instead of waiting for destruction, we should make the earth green from now on. It is also a message of Aquarius.” The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh said at the conference, “We have to consider the factors behind climate change with confidence and take measures to stop it.”
