The @PIK_Climate study, indicates that #ClimateChange will reduce the global economy's GDP by 17% by 2050. This is mainly attributed to the adverse impacts of climate change on farming, infrastructure, productivity and health. @Leonie_Climate tinyurl.com/2xs6h8yb
A recent @Nature study sheds light on the intricate impacts of #ClimateChange on marine ecosystems that affect wildlife behaviour. There is an urgent need to understand how climate change alters ecological processes around the globe @nic_lubitz @prof_schoeman @rachjuramirez
By reducing waste & conserving resources, #CircularEconomy aims to combat environmental challenges & create a sustainable future. It is crucial to rethink how we produce & consume goods to better align with environmental goals. @wef @SaitoMoeko @UNDP tinyurl.com/5n75k34s
Including girls in climate planning & policy enhances community actions for biodiversity, clean resources & food/shelter access. Prioritising them is morally crucial & strategically vital for a resilient & equitable future. @GraceJ_IPE @ConversationCA tinyurl.com/ucbuaru7
Landmark rulings from @SupremeCourtFan & @ECHR_CEDH affirm individuals' rights against #ClimateChange impacts. A pivotal moment in environmental law, signaling global recognition of the need to protect citizens from climate threats. @satyajitsarna tinyurl.com/ymvwfj4t
📊Transparency alert: #TNPCB shines in complaint resolution with few pending cases. Yet, data on the complaints received, disposal timeline & legal action remains unclear. More details could boost public confidence in environmental enforcement. #EnvironmentalTransparency (9/n)
⌛While the Water and Air Acts stipulate a four-month time limit for processing consent applications, the #TNPCB has ambitiously set a more stringent 45-day timeline. However, findings suggest that this timeline is unrealistic given the current workforce. #RealisticGoals (8/n)
👥 Urgent filling of technical and scientific vacancies is required to empower the #TNPCB to meet its mandate effectively. The lack of adequate technical staff could hamper the Board’s inspection, monitoring and enforcement mandate. #HumanResource #EffectiveGovernance (7/n)
🌊 Tamil Nadu's vast coastline demands representation from the Fisheries Sector on the Board to voice the coastal communities' interests. #InclusiveGovernance #CoastalRights (6/n)
🛠️ Technical decisions (such as consent to establish & operate, maintenance of continuous air & water quality monitoring stations, inspections & enforcement) are the Board's key mandate, yet there's a tilt towards personnel/administrative matters. #Decisions (5/n)
🏛️Absence of local body members on the Board: Given that rural and urban local bodies in the State have elected members, it is crucial for the GOVT to initiate steps to appoint members to ensure their representation as per the Water Act. #LocalRepresentation #BoardDiversity (4/n)
⏳The tenure of the Chairperson and Member Secretary, who form the leadership of the Board, is unstable. With an average tenure of 9 months, they need more time for impactful long-term decisions. The GOVT could prescribe a minimum tenure of two years. #StableLeadership (3/n)
⏳Board stability is key! Frequent member changes in crucial departments like Town Planning, Finance, and Environment over 6 years may have potentially disrupted decision continuity. A lower frequency of change corresponds to a longer tenure on the Board. #BoardStability (2/n)
In my #applied #research on #environmental protection, I've analysed the @Tnpcbofficial's functions under specific parameters between 2017 and 2022. Check out the study report for @CAGChennai here: bit.ly/TNPCBstatus Key insights from the report, a #thread🧵👇🏽(1/n)
By employing a holistic approach that integrates advanced modeling, proactive planning & adaptive control measures, #India can mitigate the impact of #ClimateChange on neglected tropical diseases, thereby aiding in the elimination of such diseases. @Dr_Tripathi @DEFCCOfficial
#Report: bit.ly/TNPCBstatus An in-depth analysis of the @Tnpcbofficial structure, leadership & capacity for the years 2017-22. This study explores gaps & offers insights for better environmental management in #TamilNadu. Dive into the report for more details. #ClimateAction
The world has marked a new global heat record in March 2024 with the primary cause of this exceptional heat being attributed to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. @CopernicusECMWF @OceanTerra @ECMWF @WoodwellClimate @JFrancisClimate tinyurl.com/y6srs8rf
In a groundbreaking judgment, the #SupremeCourtOfIndia recognises the right against adverse climate effects as a #FundamentalRight, prioritising equity & human rights in #ClimateAction, safeguarding citizens' right to life. @SupremeCourtFan #ClimateJustice tinyurl.com/28hv9ysk
.@RBI warns of #ClimateChange's impact on inflation & growth! Extreme weather and rising temperatures can disrupt supply chains and natural interest rates. #ClimateRisks must be incorporated into financial modeling. @DasShaktikanta tinyurl.com/2cw88hd7
Summer is here! We need to brace ourselves for the #ClimateCrisis induced heatwaves. Despite record breaking temperatures last year, @IMDWeather projects more states will witness above normal temperatures from April to June. tinyurl.com/aasdkby5
