Next month, we are delighted to co-host a workshop with ODI: "What is the role of Article 2.1c in advancing climate action?" 📅 Date: 30 September 2024 This half-day virtual-only event is aimed at bringing together a range of relevant stakeholders to deliberate on what it means for financial flows to be consistent with low-emission, climate resilient development pathways in accordance with Article 2.1c of the Paris Agreement. It aims to foster honest dialogue on how the world’s financial systems and global capital can truly be aligned with climate goals, whilst upholding the principle of equity, and fostering a fair green transition for all, especially in the Global South.

About us
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi. CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable. The scenario today demands using knowledge to bring about change. In other words, working India’s democracy. This is what we aim to do.The challenge, we see, is two-pronged. On the one hand, millions live within a biomass based subsistence economy, at the margins of survival. The environment is their only natural asset. But a degraded environment means stress on land, water and forest resources for survival. It means increasing destitution and poverty. Here, opportunity to bring about change is enormous.But it will need a commitment to reform – structural reform- in the way we do business with local communities. On the other hand, rapid industrialization is throwing up new problems: growing toxification and a costly disease burden. The answers will be in reinventing the growth model of the Western world for ourselves, so that we can leapfrog technology choices and find new ways of building wealth that will not cost us the earth. Our aim is to raise these concerns, participate in seeking answers and in pushing for answers, transforming these into policy and so practice. We do this through our research and by communicating our understanding through our publications. We call this knowledge-based activism. We hope we will make a difference.

Air pollution continues to pose the greatest external threat to human life expectancy worldwide and is limiting the global average life span by almost two years: Study The study report, titled Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) 2024, was published on August 28, 2024, by researchers of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC). The effects of air pollution on life expectancy surpass those of smoking, heavy drinking and are several times greater than other major health risks like HIV/AIDS and malnutrition. https://lnkd.in/d_Xst8re

Tripura’s floods ‘classic example’ of climate change intensifying extreme weather events: Experts The floods also caused damage to livelihoods, with numerous people being forced to abandon their homes. The floodwaters have also led to the contamination of drinking water sources, raising concerns about waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. Deforestation, changing land use, encroachment of natural drainage, lack of flood infrastructure maintenance along with an undulating terrain mean floods are deadlier and harder to deal with. https://lnkd.in/dzNDeRZK #Tripuraflood

As world gears up for this year’s biggest biodiversity talks, what progress have we made towards global ambitions on protected areas? 🖋️Heather Bingham UNEP-WCMC stresses that achieving 30% protected and conserved area coverage is only one part of the picture. Firstly, it’s one target under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which includes four long-term goals for 2050 and 23 action-oriented targets to be achieved by 2030. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have agreed that we need to achieve all of those goals and targets to address the nature crisis. Target 3 is critically important, but it is far from the entire solution. Secondly, Target 3 has many other components beyond just achieving 30 per cent coverage. It calls for protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures https://lnkd.in/gWrqDRUi
