When I ran out of home, I never thought that 9 years since, that not only would we become water-secure at home, but that I would have written two books and invested in over 15 climate-related start-ups. Thrilled to share that my book, Watershed, is out! https://t.co/uqPuk59jW5
Speaking on the infrastructure required in order to establish reliable and sustainable water systems, Mridula Ramesh, founder of the Sundaram Climate Institute, contrasts the role played by water resources across Rajasthani tradition with the circumstances of today, at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

Here is that moment!!
Payal Nag receives her GOLD medal at Bangkok and the national anthem plays.
And right beside her, Sheetal - gracefully helping move her wheelchair.
Two champions. One podium. One unforgettable frame.
Pure inspiration. ❤️
Payal Nag’s journey is a powerful reminder: limitations exist only in the mind.
From not even knowing what archery was in Balangir, Odisha, to winning GOLD at the World Archery in Bangkok, her story defines courage and belief.
“I had no idea what archery was… Kuldeep sir showed me videos of Sheetal didi. That’s when I felt I could do something too.”
Don’t blame fate. Work hard. Stay consistent. Success will follow. 💪
Improved National Energy Resilience.
Higher Farmer Incomes
Climate Action.
Managing food waste does all these and more. Then why don't we do it? And how can we?

They also tend to be more climate resilient, and studies have shown them to provide higher dry season stream flow to downstream regions. Both important for communities around forests.
That’s why compensatory afforestation in lieu of old-growth forest can never truly compensate for their loss. Eg no new tree plantation can provide the ecosystem services of the original Nicobar forest which will be cut.
A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in the next month, with #ENSO-neutral favored through MJJ 2026 (55% chance). El Niño is likely to emerge In JJA 2026 (62% chance) and persist through at least the end of 2026. (1/2) https://t.co/5zlzaZ1aZx
Less than 150 years ago, most Indians ate millets. That has changed, and in the process we have become more unhealthy and more vulnerable to the climate. Read on: https://t.co/YigOZNWW5r
The way millets eat - the way they take carbon from the air into themselves - is what makes them so much more effective than rice or wheat in a warmer climate: @mimiramesh
#HTWknd ✨| The vulture, sadly, is a bird with an image problem. Bald, unsexy, crouching over carrion, it is much harder to love than, say, the imperious, beautiful tiger. Yet we depend on the dying bird. Our lives remain tied to it. Quite literally so.
India’s vulture population has fallen from 40 million to about 30,000 over 30 years; the result of a kind of opioid epidemic.

A back-of-the-envelope calculation of cost vs. benefits of air pollution suggests that we are stuck with it in the short to medium term. In the long run, we are all dead anywar. Read more: https://t.co/d1eYK9YNuF
Super proud on release of the Millet Foundation Guide, a pioneering resource grounded in scientific and research evidence on millets. We hope this labour of two years proves valuable for policymakers, researchers and practitioners.

Air pollution is a national problem - we have hardly any places with safe #AQI. Sources are many & vary a bit, but biomass & waste burning are big contributors. Time for a Swach Vayu mission! Will have huge public health benefits! @PMOIndia@byadavbjp@JPNadda@nsitharaman
