India is facing an unprecedented heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 50°C. The intense heat affects regions from Rajasthan to Delhi and Mumbai, causing health issues like heatstroke and dehydration. Authorities urge precautions and hydration. The heatwave underscores the urgent need to tackle climate change as extreme events become more common. Communities and governments must adopt sustainable practices and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure to mitigate the impact. . . . . . . . . . #india #rajasthan #newdelhi #mumbai #sizzles #climateresilient #hydration #unprecedented #lucknow #nation #temperature #hightemperature #extremesummer #heatwave #heatwavealert #heatwavesafety #summer #recordbreaking #struggling #hottest #tempreture #stayconnected #lokalvokalmedia

Sir, rightly apted lines from Rigveda "More growth means more production, but also more consumption." The book Wasteland: The Dirty Truth About What We Throw Away, Where It Goes, and Why It Matters, sheds light on how large-scale consumption is taking a toll on Mother Earth, making our future increasingly vulnerable. We must rethink our approach to growth to ensure a sustainable and resilient world for generations to come. #Sustainability #GrowthMindset #EnvironmentalImpact #FutureGenerations

https://lnkd.in/dva25jKf Honored to have been part of this impactful project as one of the filmmakers capturing the essence of this noble cause in Silchar, India. Grateful to WRI India for entrusting me with the opportunity to contribute visuals to this documentary. #PoweringHealthcare Burrows Memorial Christian Hospital (BMCH), situated in the climate-vulnerable zone of Assam, India, has long grappled with frequent power outages, posing challenges to sustaining uninterrupted healthcare services. Particularly during the rainy season, when electrical grids are susceptible to disruptions from floods or heavy rains, the situation exacerbates. In response to this critical issue, WRI India India stepped in, offering knowledge support and facilitating the implementation of Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions within the hospital premises. Join us on the transformative journey of BMCH as it embraces DRE technology, ensuring a reliable and sustainable electricity supply crucial for maintaining uninterrupted healthcare services, even in the face of adversities. #RenewableEnergy #HealthcareTransformation #ClimateResilience

On the 29th May 2024, the temperature of Delhi reached to 52.9°C ,highest ever recorded in India. This is an alarming situation and we are all responsible for it. Whether it's Water Crisis of Bangluru or Pollution Problem in Delhi, all are man-made problems which needs to be addressed with utmost importance. Our ancestors left habitable world to us. Are we making it inhabitable for the next generation? We should ponder upon this. #Delhitemperature #BangluruWaterCrisis #EnvironmentalIssues

India the second polluted country in the world, with an average PM2.5 concentration of 58. Of the 30 most polluted cities in the world, 21 of them are located in India. The most polluted city in India and the world is Kanpur, where the city's medical college receives about 600 respiratory illness patients per month. India's unhealthy pollution levels are from sources such as vehicles, the burning of coal and wood, dust storms, and forest fires. Delhi, India's capital region, is notorious for some of the worst air in India, forcing flight cancellations, causing traffic accidents, closing of schools, and even turning the white marble walls of the Taj Mahal yellow and green. Rural areas are also heavily affected by pollution in India, as people rely on fuels such as wood and dung for cooking and heating and still practice the burning of crop stubble. #pollution #india #indiatransport #logistics #supplychain #nitingadkari

If our water (#rivers), air, and soil are polluted, how can humanity continue to survive on this planet? ...…and what I do with growth without clean #water!! Not lost in the clouds of dreams… this #journalist in the video is boating through the toxic fog of the #Yamuna River, right here in Delhi. Life can only thrive when these essential elements—water, air, and soil—remain pure. This truth was understood thousands of years ago. As a verse from the Rigveda states this: 'पृथ्वीः पूः च उर्वी भव।' Rigveda (1.555.1976) More growth means, production, but also means more consumption. I believe, knowingly or unknowingly, we all contribute to this problem through our #consumption. Whether it’s a new dress, vehicle, or electronic device, each purchase has an impact on the environment. On this finite planet with finite resources, Let’s all be mindful of buying anything new. Celebrate but not at cost of future, I mean our children!! They will be left to suffer polluted air and water, and of course climate change. #EnergySwaraj Energy Swaraj Foundation Hindustan Times India Today The Indian Express The Times Of India The Better India #growth #Sustainable

Dear LinkedIn network, It's been an extraordinary winter in India, with Delhi experiencing its lowest temperature in over two years.

Unprecedented urban heat stress has been experienced across India this summer. While most heat wave warnings focused on temperatures above 45 deg C -- the brunt of the unlivable heat stress was experienced in east coast cities of India. At 196 hours, city of Vijayawada experienced the highest number of heat stress hours across India. Nearly 10 cities had more than 100 heat stress hours. New climate analytics report by Respirer made it to the front-page story of LiveMint. For full report, do see here: https://lnkd.in/dyxZh8Jk #UrbanHeatStress #HeatIndex #MINT

Heat wave warnings in India have not captured the severity of the "Heat Stress" that has been experienced in several coastal cities of India. 6 of top 10 cities with 100+ heat stress hours are on the east coast of India (Vijayawada, Bhubaneswar, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Kolkata, Puducherry) with 3 others in Gujarat (Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat). Most of the IMD Heat Wave warnings have focused on Delhi and North India. But the unlivable heat stress has been experienced over the past 4 weeks mainly in east and west coast cities. Report by Respirer Living Sciences on Front Page of today’s LiveMint Air Pollution during Winter in Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) cities and Heat Stress during Summer for East Coast cities is potentially giving rise to a true "climate migration" situation across India. Unless we don't understand this in the right context - the livability of our cities continues to decline.

💥 Residents in Chennai have taken proactive measures to protect their vehicles from the severe waterlogging caused by the ongoing heavy rains. Many have parked their cars on elevated surfaces like flyovers to safeguard them from rising waters. This practical solution reflects the resilience and resourcefulness of Chennai's community amidst challenging weather conditions. 💥 The heavy rains battering Chennai are part of a larger weather phenomenon affecting southern India. The northeast monsoon, which typically impacts the southeastern coast, has intensified in recent days, leading to extensive rainfall in cities like Chennai. As a result, waterlogging has become a pressing issue, with reports of flooded neighborhoods, traffic congestions, and even cancellations of domestic flights and train services. 💥 Authorities have issued alerts and advisories, directing residents to park their vehicles safely and urging essential services to continue functioning despite the disruptions. 💥 The situation is closely monitored by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which has forecast additional rainfall for the coming days, necessitating continued vigilance and preparation efforts. ❤️ Stay safe Chennai! #chennai #chennaifloods #chennairains
