(1/3) Cities are no longer cooling down once the sun sets — turning heat stress into a round-the-clock occurrence.

For instance Delhi's heat pattern is driven by land use that clearly influences the land surface temperature (LST). Night temperatures do drop, but not evenly.

A panel discussion on the theme “Scaling up Climate Finance for a Sustainable and Resilient Maharashtra” was organised at the Jio World Convention Centre as part of Mumbai Climate Week. The Hon’ble Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Government of Maharashtra, attended the session.
While speaking on the occasion, she emphasized that environmental and climate change issues should be viewed not only as policy priorities but also as a moral responsibility. She expressed confidence that youth awareness is the true strength of climate action and that understanding our responsibility is key to securing our future.
She further stated that environmental education needs greater emphasis at the school level and should be introduced as an independent subject for the next generation, similar to civics. She stressed that planned and responsible decision-making is essential to reduce environmental damage and highlighted the need for greater vigilance to ensure that the burden of future crises does not fall on the coming generations.
Among those present were MITRA's Chief Executive Officer Pravin Pardeshi, Environment and Climate Change Department Secretary Jayshree Bhoj, WRI India Chief Executive Officer Madhav Pai, WRI India Associate Program Director Saransh Bajpai, and CEEW Program Lead Dr. Pushpa Bajaj.

जिओ वर्ल्ड कन्व्हेन्शन सेंटर येथे मुंबई क्लायमेट वीक ,स्केलिंग अप क्लायमेट फायनान्स फॉर अ सस्टेनेबल ॲण्ड रेजिलिएंट महाराष्ट्र या विषयाचे चर्चासत्र आयोजित करण्यात आले होते. या चर्चा सत्रास राज्याची पर्यावरण व वातावरण बदल मंत्री म्हणून उपस्थित राहिले.
पर्यावरण आणि हवामान बदलाच्या प्रश्नांकडे केवळ धोरणात्मक नव्हे, तर नैतिक जबाबदारी म्हणून पाहिले पाहिजे. तरुणाईची जागरूकता हीच हवामान कृतीची खरी ताकद असून आपली जबाबदारी समजली तर भविष्यही समजते, असा विश्वास यावेळी बोलतांना व्यक्त केला.
तसेच,पर्यावरण शिक्षणाला शालेय पातळीवर अधिक महत्त्व देण्याची गरज असून नागरीक शास्त्राप्रमाणेच पर्यावरण हा स्वतंत्र विषय म्हणून पुढील पिढीपर्यंत पोहोचवला पाहिजे. पर्यावरणीय हानी कमी करण्यासाठी नियोजनपूर्वक आणि जबाबदारीने निर्णय घेणे आवश्यक आहे. भविष्यातील संकटांचा भार पुढील पिढीवर पडू नये, यासाठी अधिक सजगतेची गरज असल्याची ग्वाही यावेळी बोलतांना दिली.
मित्राचे मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी प्रवीण परदेशी, पर्यावरण विभागाच्या सचिव जयश्री भोज, WRI इंडिया चे मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी माधव पै, WRI इंडियाचे असोसिएट प्रोग्राम डायरेक्टर सारांश बाजपेयी, CEEW प्रोग्राम लीड डॉ. पुष्प बजाज आदीजण याप्रसंगी उपस्थित होते.

Important Update! 🌡️🔥 Informal Workers & Heatwaves

NDMA has issued a landmark advisory to protect India’s 80% urban workforce from heatwave risks. This includes street vendors, construction workers, domestic workers & more—most exposed to rising temperatures daily. 🔥 👨‍🏭 1/3

Almost everyone who died or was injured in today’s train accident at Mumbra has hailed from the far-off corners of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — Titwala, Shahad, Diva, Vasind, Ulhasnagar.
These aren’t just pin-drops on a map. They’re homes to thousands who wake before sunrise, endure packed locals, and journey hours each day just to keep Mumbai running. This tragedy is not just about a train mishap. It’s a brutal reminder of how Mumbai’s public transport lifelines are stretched thin — especially for those who live furthest away and need them the most.
