The World is standing at a crossroad where if we do not put a lid on the emission of greenhouse gases, in a few decades, we shall be heading towards an environmental disaster. With the climate change conference in Paris underway, will it be possible for various world leaders to look beyond blame game and actually hammer out an agreement that everyone will follow in letter and spirit? Should industrialised countries do more in terms of providing finance and accessibility to clean and green technology? In the long term how do we reduce our carbon footprint?

Global warming isn't a distant threat anymore. The rising temperatures around the globe are directly affecting environmental factors and threatening to disrupt daily life.

Tonight, we begin a special series of NDTV Dialogues on the biggest challenge facing us globally: Climate Change. What is the world we will leave to our future generations will be discussed when global leaders meet in a landmark summit in Paris. Joining me on the show, Piyush Goyal, Minister of New & Renewable Energy, Power and Coal; Ashwani Kumar, Chairman, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Environment, Forest and Climate Change and Sunita Narain, Director General, Centre for Science and Environment.

The Breathe Clean conclave, attended by leading government voices, medical practitioners, environmentalists, educators, NGOs and concerned citizen and parent groups, began with an opening keynote address by Shri Prakash Javadekar, Minister of State for Environment.

In October last year, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat campaign, there was one thing he did differently as a politician. He set a target to achieve 100 per cent toilets in every school across the country till Independence Day in 2015. That was more than 4 lakh toilets. It's a massive number and the Prime Minister apparently monitored it personally. It seems the target has been achieved this week, but is it really the toilet dream that is being promised?
