About the Panel The Panel Discussion is centred around the theme ‘Restore our Earth’, and aim of the panel is to collectively inquire into the nature of our relationship with the Earth, with the Nature, with Each Other, and to understand what actions can be taken in the present towards restoring / or towards a new Earth. Panel discussion seeks to enquire into the nature of consciousness of the individual and society, and to find out ways to move forward other than using temporary modifications of law, and policy which hasn’t really restored the earth. Further Panel Discussion aims to find out the root problem, which prevents this environment consciousness from emerging.
