Ms Meena Ponraj (Head of Institutional Distribution- Investment Management, Southeast Asia) from BNY Mellon Investment Management Singapore Pte Ltd, invited Earth Society to conduct an online Global Warming talk for her staffs on 18 Apr.

On 18 Apr, Earth Society joined in the online MS Teams meeting at 1.45 pm. We conducted a Global Warming talk for 40 staffs from 2 pm to 3 pm. We presented on the effects of Climate change on the world and showcased various solutions that scientists recommended to curb climate change. (Plant trees, Eat less meat, Green energy and 3Rs). We touched on environmental issues such as Deforestation, the Global usage of food/ water resources and World Hunger.

BNY Mellon staffs listened attentively to the talk.

Feedback from Staffs:

• very insightful yet depressing at the same time to know that despite major governments meeting their emission commitments, we’ll still be outside the safe zone in terms of temperature increases!
• absolutely eye opening presentation from Earth Society. Lots to digest, learn and act on.
• Would be useful for some Call to Action suggestions to be displayed on the slides at an individual level
• When the big picture is so dire and the scale of the problem is presented as such it might seem overwhelming
• Tone for going meatless could be more gradual – Eg. Here are some options, as opposed to, stop now.
