Intense, Inspiring, Ingenious - All about Entrepreneurship!
Brilliant ideas were exchanged last Friday at #YES21 finals. Kudos to our team TerraTech winning the finance prize!
Thank you everyone @UoNYES@nanciemurin and I are truly grateful to @granthamcsf for their support.
A poorly planned flyover for Bashyam Junction from Sankey Road towards Malleshwaram 18th cross will cost 50 trees to be cut. This will not solve the traffic congestion or ease the bottlenecks. Urge @BSBommai @BBMPCOMM to stop this project. https://t.co/DoxTv8gcHM @Jhatkaadotorg
Brilliant work by @kmfweb on predicting relative humidity trends globally and why it is important to understand them, which existing climate models don't capture well.
Our atmosphere - the 6ft (2m) bit we live in - is getting dryer.
Drying has all sorts of impacts, including #wildfires and, perhaps counterintuitively, #floods.
FOM in this interview with Grantham Scholar @kmfweb, an expert on atmospheric drying.

This isn't a digital rendering of what the future might look like. This is a satellite photo. This is not normal. This is a climate & nature emergency. #climate#ClimateCrisis
BREAKING

The decision is expected to be a catalyst for #ClimateAction
@HelloRakesh We should compare May-June in Indian cities vs July-August in the UK - Indian cities experience much more intense and longer heatwaves than the UK.
Our @jocelynesze@ScienceShef has done research that shows #Indigenous lands are generally good for conservation.
In this interview she talks about that, and how colonial thinking can hinder local peoples from managing their land.

India ๐ฎ๐ณ has achieved the fastest-growing rate of renewable electricity growth in any major economy, thanks to a proactive approach that allowed utilities to find a cost-efficient way to incorporate #renewable#energy. Read the blog ๐ https://t.co/mmx5DXnc2g
Africa Energy Outlook is out!
Today 600 million Africans have no access to electricity & nearly 1 billion no access to clean cooking. Solving this requires $25 billion per year from now to 2030 โ the same as building one new LNG terminal a year

To add, developed countries are not actually reducing their emissions instead just transferring to China and slowly to India in the past few decades, making them easy scapegoats. Maddening it is indeed.
New #IPCC Working Group III report/Summary for Policymakers highlights equity and the need for finance to support action in developing countries. But US & developed countries watered down a lot in their ongoing attempts to shift responsibility to the Global South. (1/11)
An amazing- post-2020-Internal seminar and Cake (ISAC) session today! Loved the awesome presentations and meeting all the old as well as new PhD students! Thanks @jana_banana__ for the picture!
