[ORF @orfonline]

.@OffTiss and @orfonline curated a panel discussion as part of the Hyderabad Policy Conclave: The Indian Era.

The panel explored new modalities of development partnerships for filling the ODA gap in development #finance, especially in sectors of #climate, #health, and #foodsecurity. It would also examine how North-South and South-South Cooperation can be strongly leveraged to balance geopolitical risks, strengthen multilateralism, and thus ensure long-term sustainable development.

⚠️Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region has lost 70% of its #biodiversity in the last century.

#IPBES plays a crucial role in addressing this crisis by highlighting the magnitude of this challenge, offering viable solutions, and consistently communicating the urgency of the situation.

It’s imperative to incorporate nature into investment strategies, acknowledging its pivotal role in providing solutions.

There is a critical need to advocate for innovative global finance, particularly directed towards vulnerable regions like the #HKH.

The #GigWorkers social security legislation recently passed by #Rajasthan State Assembly, is a modest, but important breakthrough. Many struggles ahead, but this law wins new rights for workers in a "gig" economy. Do watch, discuss, & spread the word

Delhi is under water. Unlike previous floods when floodwaters affected poor people living along the #Yamuna, this time posh colonies are marooned too. Water treatment plants shut. @yamunajiye ji had kept warning against destroying the river's floodplains.

@yamunajiye Deeply saddened to hear this. Manoj Ji was an inspiration and the kindest soul. He shall be deeply missed. He made tremendous contributions to river and water conservation in India. May his soul rest in peace 🙏

Extremely rarely if hardly ever we can see this kind of anomalies in such a huge area for 10/15 days.
