Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud underlined the need for collective action to combat climate change. He emphasised that the repercussions of climate change extend far beyond affluent societies, severely impacting marginalised communities as well, reported ANI.

Speaking at the launch of the book ‘Traditional Trees of Bharat’, compiled and edited by Goa's Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai, during a programme held at Raj Bhavan on Saturday, CJI Chandrachud said, "This is not necessarily our doing. We are the inheritors of the actions of previous societies across the world in their pursuit of industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions. However, we must do our part to protect our communities. As we know, climate change is not only impacting affluent societies; it is also affecting the most marginalised," stated ANI.
