Ms Naisha Adhikari:

I thank the committee for the wonderful opportunity of speaking here. My name is Naisha Adhikari and as Mr. Lian said, I will be covering the topic of adaption, which is necessary in the context of the current climate crisis.

Adaption, as defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, is the process of changing to suit different conditions. It is by far one of the most key components in ensuring the welfare and survival of the future generations. The story of this world is destructively beautiful and has been told over many centuries. However, if we do not adapt to overcome what seems like the most major hurdle in the 21st century, there may be no one left to cherish the story of this world. This would be devastating, especially when one considers how far we have come as a civilisation.

In the submission we made, I discuss how and why we will need to tailor our education specifically to the areas we, as students, reside in for maximum efficiency. We will need appropriate funding for continuous professional development, CPD, and hold the attention of current and future students alike. I look forward to discussing this matter further and to answering any questions the committee may have.

As a favourite author of mine once wrote, every human is a disaster for each other. I would like to add a more positive twist to this, namely every human may be a disaster for each other but when we set aside our differences and stand together to focus on a collective incentive, we become something that transcends any problem we could ever face.
