Sharma’s extensive knowledge of sustainable development within civil society
groups, corporate world and governmental experience she becomes the perfect
combination to be both a trustworthy spokesperson and a strong strategist.
Moreover, with her background in the South Asian region we see no other person
who could strengthen PVCHR’s climate justice work the way Parul Sharma can,”
says Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi the founder and Executive President of PVCHR.
“This is the
time to act for climate justice and with my devotion for the region and the
will and wish to speed up the justice part of things, it was very hard for me
to say nothing else but yes to this opportunity. I have worked and known PVCHR
since many years now, and it is a genuine people’s movement with ears towards
the grassroots, which is important for findingsolutions”,
says Parul Sharma.
Ms. Parul
Sharma will join on the 1st of February 2020.
