Dear readers,
Forest fires broke out in two Mizoram districts this week, as well as a sudden glacial outburst Sumna in Uttarakhand. We have not seen any cyclones this month, which poses questions about the possibility of strong cyclones the next month.
US President Joe Biden held a virtual Leaders Summit last week at which many major polluting countries have increased their climate ambitions. The US’ new climate pledge of cutting emissions by 50% this decade raises questions on its feasibility. It also needs to reduce its production and use of fossil fuels. Archana Soreng, youth advisor to the UN- Secretary General stated that rights must be given to indigenous people to tackle climate change.
As nations fight for minerals critical for clean energy, the question arises whether or not India will be able to secure its position in this New Energy order.
