Dear readers,
Breaking news: the Chamoli glacier burst, are we finally going to learn from our mistakes? The cumulative effect of hydropower projects has turned out to be more environmentally damaging than sustainable and the use of concrete instead of traditional wood and masonry in the Himalayas is creating a heat-island effect, warming the range
Meanwhile, what the Union Budget 2021-22 missed? Clean energy, renewables, stubble burning, and an opportunity lost to address the rural sector
The disinclination to recognise impact of humans on the planet is responsible for a fragile fight against climate change. We need to take ownership and concrete action, such as setting up climate resilient agriculture systems, including for India.
In Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Myanmar growing social and environmental opposition has delayed coal-fired power plants projects. Across the globe, New Zealand’s Climate Change Commission called on the government to take ‘immediate and decisive action’ to cut emissions.While the new NASA model is expected to help assess change in carbon concentrations from forests.
In ancient Egypt, as the environment changed, the Nile Delta gradually became much less rich in wild food resources and climate change may have ended these 10 civilisations.
The two online training courses will teach you all that you need to know on the science, politics and impacts of climate change as well as demystifying climate data. Be sure to join them this February! |
