Anil Chitrakar addressing youths...

Asoka Fellow Anil Chitrakar then addressed the audience. He likened the global reaction to the knowledge about climate change to a traditional story: A rabbit is jumping in the field. He sees a crow sitting on a tree and asks "What are you doing?" The crow answere: "Nothing." -- "Can I also do nothing?" -- "Sure." So the rabbit sits, does nothing and gets eaten by a wolf. The moral of the story: Only those at the top can afford to do nothing. Mr. Chitrakar encouraged the participants, therefore, to see themselves as leaders and not as victims -- a popular view in the region of South Asia, which considers itself as innocent of climate change.
