Ditching Academia for Environmental Activism: IIT Bombay Professor Leaves Post to Tackle Climate Crisis
Professor Solanki Calls for Global Action on Climate Change
In a bold move, renowned professor Dr. Solanki has announced his resignation from IIT Bombay, citing a climate emergency as a threat to human existence. His departure, scheduled for 23 October 2025, marks the beginning of a new chapter as he focuses on a cause close to his heart: the Finite Earth Movement (FEM).
The FEM, a movement based on the truth that unlimited consumption is not possible on a finite planet, was founded by Dr. Solanki. He has been advocating for its principles, encapsulated in his mantra 'Finite Earth - Finite Consumption,' to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.
Dr. Solanki's concern for our planet's future extends beyond academic circles. He has called on citizens, institutions, and governments worldwide to join the FEM and take action against climate change. He believes that the world is fast asleep, oblivious to the looming crisis, and urges everyone to wake up and take notice.
The FEM's mission is to engage one billion people in climate action in the next three years. To learn more about the movement and its goals, visit www.thefiniteearth.org. Unfortunately, the search results do not provide information on who founded the FEM or its specific objectives.
Climate change, according to Dr. Solanki, is a problem for all of humanity. He emphasises the need for immediate action to mitigate its effects and prevent irreversible damage. As resources continue to dwindle and the number of buildings, vehicles, and clothes increases, the need for a sustainable future becomes increasingly urgent.
Dr. Solanki's call to action comes at a critical time, as the world grapples with the realities of a changing climate. His dedication to the cause serves as a reminder that each of us has a role to play in preserving our planet for future generations.
