In 2018, Greta Thunberg created a worldwide stir by skipping school to protest against climate change. The then 15-year-old went to inspire millions of children, including Mumbai-based Jashith Narang and Ayush Sankaran, who study in Class 5. To educate children of their age about environment degradation and the ill effects of global warming, the boys developed a mobile app called 'Climate catastrophe – Earth in Dearth' in just 7 days.
