It's disappointing to see that the climate justice and forest rights of indigenous people and local communities is completely missing from India's climate commitments at #COP26
While these communities face the most severe brunt of climate crisis, their concerns remain unaddressed

[India Environment Matters @ReDraftEIA2020]

NEW: The @moefcc issues a draft amendment to the #CRZ Notification 2019. It is open for public comments till 31 Dec 2021. The draft proposes several dilution incl. exemption of Oil & Gas explorations from CRZ clearance. Note that they have been granted exemptions in the past too.

More than 100 world leaders will promise to end and reverse deforestation by 2030, in the COP26 climate summit's first major deal.

India hasn't promised and it is no wonder since the Indian govt is hell-bent on clearing all forests for coal.

What they won't tell you about PM @narendramodi 's #COP26 address

Modi: "We want to do more to help developing countries accelerate the clean energy transition"

Reality: Indian government is pushing to increase coal production to 1 billion tonnes

@narendramodi @PMOIndia

[Let India Breathe || #StandWithManipur|| @LetIndBreathe]

You're wrong @Jairam_Ramesh

There's an environment lobby too.

Your colleague @bhupeshbaghel let her get arrested.

Please #FreeHidmeMarkam and many such political prisoners who want nothing but to save environment.

Oil Palm plantation had been studied in 1980s & rejected since it’s a recipe for ecological disaster — as seen in SE Asia, and now to be unleashed in Northeast & Andaman.
Some years ago the-then CM of Gujarat proclaimed jatropha plantation as a game-changer!What happened to that?
