Vertical forests are a way of urban reforestation and are key towards allowing humans and various other species to coexist.
Once a niche term, Blue Economy (BE) has matured into a popular concept in marine governance discussions in the Indo-Pacific region. As land resources reach their limits, governments in the region are keen to harness the ocean’s wealth for economic projects. Policymakers widely believe the blue paradigm allows marine activities to be earth-friendly and sustainable, and thereby guaranteeing a more equitable future. Recent developments, however,
Global warming threatens lives and livelihoods across the Bay of Bengal region. With about nine million people living in low-lying coastal areas in these littoral countries, it is important to understand the changes in key climate variables in the region—primary of which is sea-level rise—and examine the states’ response measures. This brief describes the strategies being taken by countries of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral
If the energy needs of the future population are to be met, India must reduce its dependence on non-renewable resources and become self-reliant in the
At the current rate of around thirty-four billion tons of CO2 emissions per year, we could exhaust our carbon budget in less than a decade
The adoption of quantum computing technology could prove to be revolutionary for India to reduce its carbon footprint

The mitigation of climate change will be successful only if water risks are factored in while drafting ‘climate-smart’ strategies.
Climate change and economic development are emotive subjects that are closely related: yet one is caused by the other. People’s lives are increasingly getting affected by the negative side-effects of climate change, particularly in developing countries which, at the same time, face enormous challenges to their aspirations for economic growth. Leading scientists agree that global warming is a reality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are requir
Given the current trends of climate action, millets provide an efficient solution for circumventing the food and water trade-off
Russia—the state with the longest Arctic coastline—is embarking on an ambitious plan to benefit from the vast natural resources of the region, while undertaking a military modernisation effort that had been stalled after the end of the Cold War. As one of the strongest players in the high north, Russia will be key in determining the future of the region, which is facing challenges brought about by global warming. This paper examines Russia’
In addition to environmental consequences, permafrost thaw carries significant and multi-faceted security implications — direct and indirect, ongoin
Improving the way food is produced — and also consumed — will go a long way towards addressing global warming.
The findings of Working Group-III (WG-III) of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) clearly highlight the global failure to scale-up mitigation actions to achieve the Paris Climate targets. Immediate and unprecedented action will now be needed to avoid catastrophic global warming in this century. The WG-III report details some of the policy actions needed at the global level to enable a sustai
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, often hailed as a diplomatic triumph, aims to limit temperature increases to below 2 degrees Celsius (C), preferably to 1.5 degrees C, compared to pre-industrial levels. However, with the United Nations (UN) having failed to establish a method for putting a price on carbon, greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise, and global temperatures increased by more than 1.2 degrees C in 2020. Already, experts warn
The politicisation of the water issues of the Indus system has overshadowed the much-required integrated basin governance
India must learn from the Kharghar tragedy and adopt several measures to prepare for and tackle the impact of heatwaves.
Although several options exist to address the troika of climate change, health, and food systems, there are hurdles in developing implementable and su
Global food insecurity is aggravated largely due to climate phenomena. The third brief of this four-part series explores the link between climate chan
In the second of a four-part series, we analyse the impact of global warming on human health
The risk associated with water availability gets complicated with global warming and climate change. This affects the scarcity value of water, and eve
