Shubhanshi reframes sustainability as a crisis of broken relationships, not just broken systems. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, she introduces "Akash," an invisible field of connection often missing from modern climate discourse. Through personal stories and indigenous wisdom, she argues that ecological collapse mirrors inner fragmentation, emphasizing sustainability as relational restoration.

An 18-year-old filmmaker and environmental advocate, Shubhanshi Chakraborty directed the acclaimed, award-winning film "Natok." A UN Geneva Youth Icon, she studies Environmental Science and Sustainability and authored "Past is Forward." This TEDx talk highlights her commitment to rebuilding our relationship with the Earth.
