climate literacy must be promoted in the state development policies and programs and requires a shift from a knowledge economy to a climate economy. #climatevoiceskerala#climateliteracy#kerala
Initiating dialogue between young people from different coastlines, urban, and rural, to share their experiences, perspectives, and alternatives regarding the challenges of coastal Kerala. Nibin, one of our coastal fellow proposed a possible solution #climatevoiceskerala#cop27
The state and central governments need to improve their efforts and develop schemes that are best suited to address the challenges of today. #cop27#kerala#climatevoiceskerala
SUSTERA foundation and its volunteers are organizing a campaign in Infopark and SmartCity campuses in Kochi to raise awareness on the need for reducing vehicle-based emissions and moving into cleaner transport options.#electricmobility#publictransport
Coastal regions all around the world are susceptible to weather-related dangers like high winds and flooding as well as sea level rise. Rural, isolated communities with little resources are particularly vulnerable to the effects of these coastal hazards. #cop27
Designing and Implementing infrastructures that can adjust, adapt and quickly recover from the impacts of climate change can build resilience among coastal communities. Resilient models that can identify the potential threats and prepare to adapt can be crucial in mitigation.
As the excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature leads to ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. These changes cause a lasting impact on marine biodiversity, and the lives and livelihoods of coastal communities
Sustainable development is how utilizing resources, development of technology, investing direction and changes in the institutional set up foresees the needs of today and tomorrow.

Coastal communities across the world are facing climate injustices of varying order. Building coastal climate resilience will only be possible if voices of coastal communities are heard and action is taken based on their inputs.

Indigenous groups are often better placed than scientists to provide information on local biodiversity and environmental change, and are important contributors to the governance of biodiversity at local and global levels, the IPBES report noted.#climatevoiceskerala#COP27
More efforts have to be taken to build capacity for coastal communities on adaptation and build resilience to future uncertainties. This will help the vulnerable families to be prepared and local governments to plan. Climate literacy thus plays a major role #climatevoiceskerala
Sea level rise caused due to climate change is displacing millions of people living in the coastal regions forcing them to migrate to unknown territories. The forced migration is impacting lives and livelihoods of these vulnerable communities. #climatevoiceskerala#COP27
According to UNCTAD, approximately 90% of the world’s marine fish stocks are fully exploited, overexploited, or depleted. This is directly affecting the lives and livelihood of coastal communities.
