  1. Abstract

`The world is heading for irreversible and potential catastrophic climate change”,Nature Rebellious – repeated threat/attack from Nature – Australia, Africa, NewZealand, Brazil, Pakistan, Japan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand, USA and Indonesia. Nature never bother super power or poorer – demand absolute Care. Humanity in need of Climate Responsible Community, Climate Compatible Development. sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE – ONLY THE PATH TO Eliminate Racial Discrimination – END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, CHILDREN—–etc. sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO END VULNEARABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Threat. Each second, minute, hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity.

 

Climate change, climate variability and extremes are affecting our food production and will most challenge our food security. Farmers and extension services have been baffled on ways to address this uncertainty, manage crop production and ensure good harvest. Climate change is a global problem. We believe each one of us has responsibility and capacity to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behavior can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, it can help to save our money.

 

To meet the climate change challenges sasrai-Movement could be one of the most effective vehicles that we urge to all uphold it. It stands for plain, simple and easier life for all, as less as possible, consumption of resources in our daily living. It urges initiating it in own life, at home, at own place. It stands for democracy, diversity, decentralization, tolerance, transparency, self-reliance and peace. Its first consideration is tomorrow, the future generation, who have not spoiled a bit of this earth’s resources, the children, who have not committed any sinful act. It believes in community potentials to solve their problem, adaptation by the available resources they own right now.   

 

It stands for giving up the luxuries that destroy the earth’s resources. It stands for reuse, recycling as maximum as possible. The students, the youth, the hope of the future, can start by devising their way of serving the humanity, environment, planet. We facilitate devising own instead of suggesting, directing like big brother. Because environment doesn’t accept, tolerate dictation from powerful or powerless.

 

We are open in share of our vision, mission, learning and experience. We try to start the initiative in our personal life, at homes. The students and teachers here are encouraged to start practice in their personal life, class rooms, in schools and homes. Then they could appeal to friends, neighbors, relatives and to the others.

 

We try to use even a small empty pot, small pieces of land by planting saplings. Our preferences are medicinal plants, vegetables. We try to avoid one-time-use items. We urge and encourage to switch off our electric appliances light, fans for at least one minute a day and not to keep it in standby. We encourage avoiding using air conditioners.

 

We sit with the students, mothers and teachers and they collectively decide their steps. We start in a smaller way. We try to avoid to be dominating. We think if any organizational structure is formed then all have to take the position of “leader” by rotation. We believe in local resources and fund to launch any initiative. I hope, we could talk on more functional issues in particular community based on their existing situation.

 

Till today we have taken decisions collectively in a democratic and participatory way. We generate funds by selling used/old household items, by putting our labor.  We encourage and practice in cutting luxury, unnecessary cell phone call, cool drinks, junk food etc. We try to walk as maximum as possible but obviously not at the expense of health and time.

“Nature does not discriminate between a rich super power or a poor nation. We must stop being a slave to consumption,”

Please have lead to spread sasrai-Movement aimed at habitable earth

 

Dear Madam/Sir

Greetings from sasrai-Movement that works voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promote prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reduce the abuse of resources. sasrai target to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to Combat Climate Change, global warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity – finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. Road map towards the implementation of the United Nations Millennium Declaration – sasrai brings into focus Six MDGs, 09 time-bound targets and 31 quantitative indicators.

 
USA President in Berlin speech has said the global threat of our time severe storms, Famine and floods, Coastlines vanish, Oceans rise and Climate change. UNSG said climate change “is a humanitarian issue, a development issue, and an issue of security and stability.” IPCC 5th Assessment Report urges- disrupted climate can do in sea level rise and acidification, aggravated droughts and wildfires, increased storm severity and flooding. Those impacts will grow more severe unless we start reducing global warming pollution, not tomorrow, but now. President Obama said, “We have to all shoulder the responsibility for keeping the planet habitable, or we’re going to suffer the consequences—together.”

 

IPS – Special Issue on COP18 Doha Climate Change Conference 29 Nov, Dec 07, 2012 –  state that unsustainable human consumption and production systems are driving changes in average temperatures and weather patterns, “abnormal” is increasingly becoming the norm.

 

32 million people in 82 countries were displaced by climate – and weather-related disasters in 2012, nearly twice as many as in 2011, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. This number is expected to increase as climate change intensifies.

Chinese President Appeals to the Nation “build a thrifty society”, that sasrai Voice since 2004. Absolute truth for today’s world careless consumption driving untenable production that driving changes in temperature and weather patterns and that’s Hotter, Hungry World. Hungry world will contribute millions of desperate people. Desperate people do desperate things: They riot, they fight over food, they overthrow governments, and the mass migrate to food-secure countries.

Paper Presentation

Honorable Chair, distinguished guest, Ladies and gentleman please be kind to accept our heartiest thanks and felicitation from my part and our innumerable volunteer’s part across the globe.

I SM Farid Uddin Akhter from Bangladesh – that recognized worldwide one of the most vulnerable country, due to impacts of global warming and climate change. And this is due to its unique geographic location, dominance of floodplains, low elevation from the sea, high population density, high level of poverty, and overwhelming dependence on nature. Variability in rainfall in rainfall pattern, temperature extremes are resulting in crop damage and failure offering vulnerability to the farmers and those dependent on meaningful earning from agriculture and fishing.

I am here to represent our ardent confidence and mission sarai-Movement that took birth 2003 from the deep realization of some development worker/people’s voice listener. Our observation donor induced development activities have inconsequential contribution in increase capacity and decrease the vulnerability in long term. Our consensus was on people/community potential. We realized that no matter how poor the community or individual still there is some resources to tape and optimum utilization of those, could contribute much for their betterment. We decided to appeal save a bit – reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources. On the eve of Bengali New Year Pohela Baishak/April 14, 2004 we declare the birth of our sasrai-Movement publicly.
