Noida: “Major current environmental issues may include climate change, pollution, environmental degradation, and resource depletion. The conservation movement lobbies for protection of endangered species and protection of any ecologically valuable natural areas, genetically modified foods and global warming and it is necessary to understand about them for everyone,” said Sandeep Marwah President of Asian Education Group at the session on environment addressed by Dr. Arthur Lyon Dahl and designed by Kazem Samandari at Noida.

Dr. Arthur Lyon Dahl from Geneva, Switzerland, is President of the International Environment Forum and a retired senior official of UN Environment, with over 50 years experience in sustainability, international environmental assessment and governance, and systems science, including more than 20 years in intergovernmental organisations.

Dr. Dahl has been a frequent consultant on sustainability, environmental assessment and indicators to the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, UNESCO and UNEP, and Co-coordinated the UNEP Major Groups & Stakeholders Advisory Group on International Environmental Governance.
