Human society is in jeopardy from the accelerating decline of the Earth’s natural life-support systems, the world’s leading scientists have warned, as they announced the results of the most thorough planetary health check ever undertaken. Results shook most the one who certitudely is the major culprit, but now comes the turn to be the victim of his own actions. Nature becomes the environment of humans. Even narratives on the Earth’s revenge on humanity reinforce this insofar as in them nature’s action is mostly reactions to the effects of what humanity—the only true actor in this story—does. Societal model reifies both humanity and nature as entities that exist in an undeniably anthropocentric cosmos in which the second term is subordinated to the first. Anthropos makes himself and the world around him. He conquers, masters, and appropriates the non-human, turning it into the mere environment of his existence, there solely for his use.

Rising concerns from all over the globe need some solutions earmarked for mitigating the effects of anthropogenic activities to revamp the environment. Rather than unearthing new directions to rebuild nature, it’s always a better alternative to mould the ways which are blemishing the environment, to rebuild nature, holding hands with the needs of the present. Keeping the same in mind, Social Summit-2020 invites delegates from all over India having an ignition of ‘rebuilding nature through innovation’, and around the same theme accretion of this year’s summit takes place.
