In answering the questions related to the global challenges, Tripathi with no doubt pointed out that there is a heightened awareness among people regarding the escalating climate issues, and they are grappling with a sense of being overwhelmed by it. He stressed that it is crucial for actions to align with this awareness, particularly as countries in dryland regions like the Middle East are poised to be disproportionately affected. Tripathi further emphasized that technological advancements, innovation, and the active involvement of young people can play a substantial role in bringing about meaningful change in the situation.
