Big banks are fuelling #climatecrisis by pouring trillions into oil, gas & coal. WE CANNOT KEEP FUNDING OUR OWN DEATH. We'll have to see for ourselves if recent pledges by financial institutions at #cop26 are merely empty promises or if this will lead to defunding of fossil fuels

[CIF @CIFdotorg]

India needs policies that call for education and information for ALL on #climatechange. Citizens need to be engaged in an environmental justice curriculum that invites them to be part of the solution. Save the date & time!

Coal-fired power generation is considered as one of the major source of pollution in India. Coal based power plants have dominated the power supply mix since 1980s. As 2019, thermal power stations accounted for 75% of total electricity generation in the country.

A #circulareconomy is an economic system that tackles global challenges like #climatechange, biodiversity loss, waste, & pollution. It is essential to meet the Paris climate goals. It offers new & innovative mitigation solutions that are mostly left unexplored yet urgently needed

[CIF @CIFdotorg]

An inevitable event like #climatemigration has to be addressed by legislative & policy measures, making sure that #refugees get their due rights of settlement & rehabilitation. The rights of #indigenouspeople over land & resources must also be ensured to avoid future conflicts.

Trying to offset emissions with things like planting trees can’t make up for the destruction. The only chance we have of keeping global warming under 1.5°C & prevent some of the worst impacts of #climatechange is by not allowing new oil & gas development.

Dozens of small island states most vulnerable to the effects of #climatechange have called on the world to save "our very future" after a landmark UN report said accelerating global warming & rising sea levels threaten their existence. @byadavbjp

In India, 600 million people face acute water shortages & groundwater depletion is becoming a global threat to food security, yet the ultimate impacts of depletion on agricultural production & the efficacy of available adaptation strategies remain poorly quantified #climateaction

Humans have been encroaching forests in the name of development. Forests are known to mitigate #climatechange, provide livelihood opportunities, & offer a variety of medicinal plants. While almost 25% of India’s land is forested, its still away from the 33% target. #climateaction

Following a two-year gap, countries are due to meet in the UK for UN climate talks (COP26) in November. Here’s what is at stake!

#ClimateCrisis

[CIF @CIFdotorg]

For a nation such as India, which is the world’s 3rd largest contributor of GHGs, the clean energy sector plays a pivotal role as it can aid in tackling #climatecrisis & taper the exhaustion of fossil fuels.

India is considered the 12th-largest source of marine litter & is projected to become 5th-largest by 2025. The Ganga has been documented as one of the top-five rivers dumping plastics into oceans.
We would request @byadavbjp to introduce stringent laws to #banoceandumping.

[CIF @CIFdotorg]

In a country as populated as India, there are obvious challenges with EPR monitoring & implementation since many regions have contrasting landscapes & hierarchy of #wastemanagement.
We request @byadavbjp to look into the proper implementation of EPR in India.

We would request @byadavbjp to form climate policies that makes reparations to displaced indigenous & tribal people and protects their land and forest rights. These #indigenouscommunities deserve more respect and representation in decision making bodies.

The EIA process should modulate the polluting companies & development projects. As opposed to this, the 2020 draft proposes to ease the environmental safeguards.

We request @byadavbjp to withdraw the EIA 2020 draft & make more stringent EIA compliance.

Dear @byadavbjp, we would like you to take the initiative of making #climatepolicy education a compulsory curriculum in #India. This can increase consciousness of #climatechange, producing new insights not only at the scientific but also at sociological & political level.

[CIF @CIFdotorg]

India's infrastructure sector needs to make a radical shift towards sustainability. We would like the Environment minister @byadavbjp to look into this issue.

Promoting #sustainableinfrastructure development contributes to achieving the SDGs overall.

Respected Bhupender Yadav Ji @byadavbjp, congratulations on becoming our Environment minister.

India faces a humongous
#landfillcrisis-there is literally no space to accommodate fresh garbage waste. It is high time that the government addresses this issue.

[COP26 @COP26]

Mobilising climate finance is one of the four key goals of #COP26 🌍

The scale and speed of the changes we need to make require all forms of finance - including public and private.

Happy International #YouthDay! 💚

Young people are vital in driving forward the urgent #ClimateAction needed to protect our planet.

We will make sure their voices are heard at #COP26 this November 🌍
