CLIMATE

In the post-Paris agreement era, accelerating climate action is the biggest hope to ensure a safe future for all. In
India, our work focuses on climate modelling to develop a better understanding of climate variability at regional
scales. We study the risks and vulnerabilities of key sectors such as water, health, agriculture and industry. Our
work in climate science is inextricably linked to policy research and recommendations for the Indian government
to shape its domestic policies, as well as contribute to its position in global negotiations. Through a number of
initiatives, we are beginning to extend our knowledge and research in climate science and policy to other emerging
economies.

Managing Heat Stress during the COVID-19 Lockdown in 2020 (/article/managing-heat-stress-during-

covid-19-lockdown-2020)

Mr Santosh Kumar Muriki (/profile/santosh-kumar-muriki)
Due to the increase in anthropogenic activities, global temperatures have shown a warming trend of approximately 1°C (likely
between 0.8°C and 1.2°C) above pre-industrial levels. Annual surface air temperatures over India also have shown increasing
trends of similar magnitude during the period 1901–2014. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) released in 2021 has predicted heat waves and heat stress to be more intense and frequent during
the 21st century in South Asian region including India.

Reflections from COP26 - Relevance for India Inc. (/article/reflections-cop26-relevance-india-inc)

The twenty-sixth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the UNFCCC, that is, The 2021 United Nations Climate
Change Conference has sent a clear message to global corporates and executives—to direct their investments in innovative
projects and new technologies, reassess their business models and carbon footprint in order to make a rapid and necessary
transition to sustainability and guarantee a cleaner, safer, and healthier planet.

COP26 outcomes are a mixed bag (/article/cop26-outcomes-are-mixed-bag)

Mr R R Rashmi (/profile/rr-rashmi)
The Glasgow Climate Pact has been reached after much struggle. It is a mixed bag of partial successes and missed
opportunities.
Two areas where COP26 completed its work with a reasonable degree of efficiency are related to finalising the carbon market
mechanisms under Article 6, and completing the residual transparency arrangements under Article 13 of the Paris Agreement.

Dr. Vibha Dhawan, DG, TERI on India's ambitious and bold stand on climate action and equity
(/article/dr-vibha-dhawan-dg-teri-indias-ambitious-and-bold-stand-climate-action-and-equity)
Dr Vibha Dhawan (/profile/vibha-dhawan)
Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General, commends India’s ambitious and bold stand on climate action and equity
Considering the urgency of actions needed to address climate change, it is encouraging to see India announcing ambitious
2030 targets along with initiatives such as the Infrastructure for Resilient Island States (IRIS) and Green Grids Initiative— One
Sun One World One Grid (GGI-OSOWOG).

A Critical Analysis of Article 4.19 of the Paris Agreement (/article/critical-analysis-article-419-paris-

agreement)
Dr Shailly Kedia (/profile/shailly-kedia)
While there is a growing narrative by countries to include adaptation within their long-term strategies (LTS), however such
narratives have not translated into a very high-level of integration with concrete 'formulation' and 'communication'.

India's Tryst with Natural Disasters - Environmental Laws Should Be Strictly Implemented
(/article/indias-tryst-natural-disasters-environmental-laws-should-be-strictly-implemented)
In the first few decades since Independence, disaster response in India was traditionally concerned with relief and
rehabilitation during the post-disaster period. It was only following the 1999 Odisha super cyclone and the 2001 Bhuj
earthquake that disaster management in India came into maturity. In this article, Dr Rina Mukherji traces the growth of disaster
response and its evolution in India, over the years.
