As a significant part of the global activists and international community, she joined her contemporaries at COP27 this year in Egypt championing for strong collective measures to be taken. Aishwarya who also founded and owns her conscious fashion line Moddotcom, highlighted the climate crisis presently in India due to increasing droughts, floods and heat waves nationwide giving rise to gender inequality as adverse climatic changes affect women and children the most, being India’s major dependence on the agriculture sector where a large percentage of women are employed.
Speaking as part of the climate action panel, focusing on the importance of social media as an important voice for climate change action this year at COP27, Aishwarya stated, “We may all have different ethnicities or come from different regions of the world, but today, all of us speak one language – The language of climate action.”
The panel was also attended by international activists Omar Samra & Sophia Kianni. COP 27 took place from 6th to 20th November 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
