Kehkashan Basu M.S.M. is a renowned environmental and human rights advocate who operates at a global level.

Green Hope operates in more than 25 nations while working with hundreds of thousands of young people especially girls from disadvantaged backgrounds through tree planting activities and clean-up events and educational workshops and environmental academies. Basu has spoken at more than 500 UN events and international conferences to promote climate justice and gender equality and peace and nuclear disarmament and children's rights across the globe.
