THE HAGUE, Nov 14 — Two teenage brothers from India urged world leaders to act against climate change after winning a prestigious global children’s award on Saturday for tackling pollution from household waste in New Delhi.

The brothers said that growing up in Delhi affected the asthmatic Vihaan’s health, and curtailed the boys’ ability to play outdoors and indulge their love of nature.
The brothers began at home, separating out recyclables from their rubbish until they had such a mountain of trash that their grandfather told them either they or the waste had to leave.
