This October, we will be organising a convening on climate change and climate action in India, with a specific focus on heat stress. We aim to involve several youth groups working in this space and bring to the forefront some of the activities that they have been leading for heat stress adaptation among vulnerable communities across India. The idea is for all of us to collectivize, share knowledge and experiences, and drive action together in the future. We are looking out for such youth-led groups and the inspirational work they are leading. Inviting youth leaders to come engage with us, and inviting the LinkedIn community to spread this message far and wide! Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment | Ujjvala Krishna

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩 🤝🌿 I had the privilege of attending an all-women in climate meetup last weekend, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞? Absolutely stunning. Bangalore Creative Circus is a hidden gem in Bangalore. Imagine a 20,000 sqft warehouse, once a steel factory, now transformed into a vibrant living lab. It’s a place where sustainability meets creativity, featuring a farm-to-table restaurant, urban farming demos, an art gallery, and so much more. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐩? It was the energy of the women there. Motivated, curious, and full of support for each other, it was an electric atmosphere ⚡. We weren’t just attendees; we were a community united by a common goal: to make a significant impact on our planet 🌎. 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜? I learned about some truly extraordinary work happening at the grassroots level. For instance, I tasted a 'Kokum ice bar' from The kokum Collective, a startup by the innovative antara hazarika. They’re taking kokum, a superfood sourced from tribes in Goa and North Karnataka, and turning it into delicious treats. 🍧 And then there was Saving Grains Elizabeth Yorke, a company that's doing incredible work upcycling used grains from breweries and cafes in and around Bangalore. It's a brilliant initiative that turns waste into something wonderful, promoting sustainability in a creative way 🌾. One of the most inspiring moments was hearing from Subhadra Gupta about regenerative agriculture practices. She also shared a quote that has stuck with me: "𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡, 𝑡𝑟𝑦 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦." 💸 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞? We also discussed the barriers people face, especially the need for knowledge and experience. But events like this are crucial in bridging the gap and providing the support needed for a successful transition. 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲?

BeST - Bengaluru Science and Technology Cluster, an initiative of Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India is taking a proactive approach to fight dengue fever in the city by bringing together various partners (Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India | Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) | Initiative for Climate Action | the echo network | Molecular Solutions Care Health | ARTPARK | Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) | Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre | National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control) and launching a program called "Region-Specific Dengue Outbreak prediction and Prevention" on June 13th, 2024. This collaborative effort aims to develop a "Vulnerability Index" that can pinpoint areas at high risk for outbreaks. The index will account for various factors like human behavior, animal populations, and environmental conditions at the ward level. This initiative has the potential to serve as a model for Bengaluru's fight against dengue. #Dengue #PublicHealth #Bengaluru Farah Ishtiaq | Shannon Olsson | Varsha Shridhar, PhD | Ajay Raghavan | Dr. Yuvaraj.
