Dear readers,
Climate change may be killing the world’s largest wetland, making extreme events worse in Latin America and the Caribbean, and damaging the Sundarbans. One of the major impacts is drought and water scarcity which has caused desertification and has affected over one-fifth of India, including Gujarat and Nagaland and the water reservoirs of North and Central India domestically, and countries like Kenya abroad.
On the energy front, the fossil fuel industry is seeing the beginning of its end, especially since the knowledge of emissions from oil refineries becomes well known. PM Modi’s comments on India’s energy independence are analysed a few months before India is projected to miss its goal of reducing crude oil import dependence by 2022.
Lastly, we learn about how pineapple agroforestry can help tackle climate change, and how farmers in several districts of Bengal engaged in cultivating paddy, vegetables, sesame and groundnut have incurred heavy losses due to this year’s truant monsoon.
