Delhi's EV transition must put people at the centre. Citizens have legitimate questions on affordability, charging, resale value, repairs, battery replacement, livelihoods & safety.
Alongside EVs, let's not forget the biggest public health emergency; cleaning the air we breathe today. We need a super efficient public transport, safer walking & cycling & strict action on polluting sources, be it waste, industrial, construction all.
SB64 presents a unique opportunity to build the right momentum that ensures climate justice moves from promises to implementation.
Implementation cannot wait. #Climate justice cannot wait.

Delhi’s air crisis doesn’t end at the front door.
Another study via @iitdelhi shows kitchens are often the most polluted room in the house, with PM2.5 levels during cooking soaring far beyond safe limits, especially in winter. Women, children and the elderly face the highest exposure from an invisible crisis unfolding inside homes.
For years, mothers, women, health researchers and clean cooking campaigns have warned that indoor air pollution is a gendered health emergency. This study validates those concerns yet again.
What’s especially troubling is how quickly years of progress on clean cooking were reversed during the LPG price shocks after the global energy crisis and war-driven inflation. Across many households, families were pushed back toward biomass, wood, coal and other dirtier fuels simply because clean cooking became unaffordable.
The opportunity now is not just to restore subsidised LPG access, but to accelerate & prioritise truly clean cooking transitions; electric cooking, solar powered cooking solutions, induction systems, better ventilation, and community scale clean energy models. Clean cooking policy should sit at the heart of India’s public health, climate and women’s health agenda.

The US are executing a global armed robbery of the world’s energy supply.
I’ve adapted my documentary, "Birth of the Petrogas-Dollar and the Pirate State," into a forensic written investigation. This is the most detailed audit you will find anywhere on current US geostrategy.
Chevron's replacement for Nord Stream, the sabotage of South Pars, and the blockade of the Arctic before the ice has even melted—it’s all in here.

Human rights activist and head of the Fossil Fuel Treaty, Kumi Naidoo, speaks to us from Santa Marta in Colombia, where the world's first fossil fuel phase-out conference is taking place.
Over 50 nations, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and EU member states are meeting outside of the COP process, to discuss how the global economy can end its reliance on coal, oil and gas.
Is your country one of the 55 countries meeting in Santa Marta to begin the work to phase out fossil fuels?💜
Sending all our love and positive energy to those making history💚
A better world for all children is possible.❤️

After the #ICJ, the world’s highest court, ruled that govts have a legal duty to protect their people from climate change, Vanuatu is leading a groundbreaking UN resolution that can turn this ruling into real, globally coordinated climate action. Sign👇🏻

Data and dashboards have existed long enough. It’s the on ground realities, the violations that need to be connected to the authorities/govt/s.

Presenting her report to the UN Human Rights Council, Special Rapporteur Astrid Puentes Riaño @SREnvironment argued that victims of air pollution should no longer bear the near impossible burden of proving which polluter caused their illness. Instead, once dangerous pollution and harm are established, responsibility should shift to states, and ultimately to the polluters themselves.
With air pollution linked to more than 8 million deaths each year and 99% of people breathing toxic air, the report calls for stronger accountability and enforcement. @BhavreenMK who highlighted the everyday health impacts on children and families and urged that clean air standards be treated as enforceable rights, not recommendations!

what you're looking at is a fuel depot burning in the middle of a megacity of 9 m people & nobody is talking about what this smoke actually contains
when refined petroleum burns at this scale it releases a cocktail of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds, these particles are small enough to bypass bypass your lungs entirely and enter your bloodstream directly…
we're talking PM2.5 concentrations that can spike to 50 to 100 times safe levels within a 20km radiu
right now in tehran people are breathing this in, eyes burning, throats closing, children coughing, asthmatics flooding emergency rooms & outside acid rain is falling on the water supply, the soil, the crops…everything that sustains daily life in a city of 9m
but the real damage comes later, years later, elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issue
this is what happened after the Kuwait oil fires in 1991, after the mosul refinery burns in 2016, after every single conflict where fuel infrastructure was deliberately targeted, the medical literature on this is extensive & devastating
deliberately bombing fuel infrastructure insidde a civilian megacity knowing full well what the toxic fallout does to the population over decades is chemical warfare without the label, you achieve the same mass casualty outcome over a longer timeline and somehow it stays legal because the weapon is fire instead of sarin
these people are being sentenced to cancers they will develop in 2035 by bombs dropped in 2026 & they call it liberation
Our childrens’ first breath should not be a toxic one.
Yet air pollution is harming children before they are even born.
The new clean air report released today at @UN_HRC by Astrid Puentes Riaño, ‘Special Rapporteur on the human right to the clean, healthy & sustainable environment’ AND most importantly a mom, calls for urgent action.
Protecting clean air is a human rights obligation!
