At the international submit, the young tribal girl will  rub shoulders with 56 youth representatives from G8 member countries such as the United States, UK, Russia, Japan, Italy, Germany, France and Canada besides six other countries –– India, China, Brazil, Egypt, Mexico and South Africa. Debate on climate change.

They will discuss the impact of climate change on the lives of children and young people. […]

Pangi, who was selected for the important international youth conclave through a programme conducted by the UNICEF, however, will not be the sole representative from India. She will be accompanied by two other young delegates from Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.
