The presentation during the climate reality training was mainly given by Al Gore where he discussed the science behind climate change with the impacts of climate change and possibility of positive hopes in future if we take climate actions. As part of table work, we do a discussion and learning from each presentation every day. We are asked a present the question to Al Gore with discussion in our table work and here are the following some questions that were presented in our table look.

1.      How can youth collaborate together for Climate Action?

2.      Targets of Paris Agreement are missed by many countries. As there is no planet B, is there Plan B for climate change by the global leaders.
