india has some of the hottest cities on earth.
workers are labouring through extreme heat. people are losing income. communities are struggling to cope.
and yet there is still no dedicated national budget for heatwaves. that's the shocking finding from new research by @greenpeaceindia
because heat is not experienced equally. the wealthy can often escape it. workers, street vendors, gig workers, and low-income communities cannot.
watch the reel to understand why heatwaves need to be treated as the national emergency they already are.
if you'd like to support the campaign calling for stronger action and recognition of heatwaves as a disaster, sign the petition.

In Dwarka, 30 acres of forest have been fenced off. Entire families of Nilgai are trapped inside by fences FIFTEEN FT HIGH. They have no exit. No water. This is killing by design. This is happening in our nation’s capital. 👉🏼🔗 https://t.co/78JJ7OTkyC

Help our feathered friends survive the heat. 🕊️ Set up bird baths with clean water in balconies, gardens, and parks — and refill them regularly. Every drop counts!
Birds are falling sick as Delhi's brutal heatwaves, fueled by climate change, cause dehydration, diarrhea, and stress. Temperatures above 35°C are pushing them beyond survival limits.

India’s air is 10 times more polluted than @WHO's safe limit. Clean air action plans exist, but their targets fall dangerously short. Why aren’t we demanding better? #CleanAirNow Source: @IQAir Report
Bengaluru Commuters TAKE OVER Metro! 🚊✊🏾 #RevokeMetroFareHike
A metro ticket now costs more than a meal—unacceptable! Public transport should serve people, not price them out. Fair fares NOW!
#WhoseMetro#PeoplePower#UnFareHike
It's been a MONTH since the Namma Metro Fare Hike. Ridership has crashed. Commuters are suffering. Pollution is rising. Pricing people out of public transport is NOT a mobility solution—it’s a policy failure .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike .@BBPVedike .@PranavBalakrish
Pollution levels in Bengaluru have risen as Metro use dips after the fare hike .@OfficialBMRCL How can you justify this move? Higher public transport fares = More private vehicles = More congestion = More pollution.

ONE MONTH LATER, the damage is clear. The fare hike is pushing people off public transport, worsening traffic and AQI, and hurting the city's working class. We DEMAND not just a reversal, but a reduction in fares. .@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
People Power ✊🏽! Today, on March 9, exactly a month after the unjust Namma Metro fare hike, commuters took over 'Namma' Metro to remind us that it should be 'OUR' metro. The clear DEMAND——@OfficialBMRCL#RevokeMetroFareHike
A month after the metro hike , commuters and citizens in Bengaluru came together, inside the city's metro, calling for an immediate rollback of the recent fare hike.
#revokemetrofarehike
We don’t need token pink logos, discounts on cosmetics & other polluting products, or shallow empowerment narratives—what we DEMAND is climate justice, equal pay, and real support for the those on the frontlines of the crisis. #March8#WomensHistoryMonth#M8#IWD
