Looking forward to more details, but the acknowledgment by MoEF&CC of the issues and their acceptance of the need to change the guidelines is a positive step and most welcome! 🙏🏽

#GIB #greenwashing #RenewableEnergy #solarenergy

Must read Debadityo Sinha's article about the unfortunate #SupremeCourt 's judgement on the #GreatIndianBustard & transmission power lines. It ignores the fact that #GIB needs special attention to thrive. Our own survival depends on preserving all #species & the #ecosystem . #SaveGIB

Sharing my oped on the recent #SupremeCourtOfIndia judgment on the Great Indian Bustard & transmission line. I argue that the judgment presents one-sided arguments, lacking valid reasoning while disregarding scientific evidences. Pl take a moment to read & share if you like!

#Opinion | Right Against Climate Change And The Need To Go Beyond 'Greenwashing'

 'The Supreme Court's order reflects a flawed understanding of the interplay between climate change, biodiversity and development issues,' writes Debadityo Sinha (Debadityo Sinha)

Over 50 percent of the pollution control-related posts in India are lying vacant: Govt data

Urgent call to action!
Dwarka sec-21 Forest is under threat from railway authorities who plan to demolish it for commercial projects, parking/roads. Thousands of trees & water bodies r being destroyed & wildlife displaced;
Time to save Delhi's precious habitats!
#SaveDwarkaForest

Former PCCF of #Assam , MK Yadava allowed construction of a #policebattalion in #Assam Mizoram border involving diversion of 44ha without prior #forestclearance ! After retirement he was appointed as special secy #forests by #Assam govt. MoEFCC has now taken note of the violation

It's very seriously one sided decision, which is not a equal opportunity for a critically endangered, with less than 100 odd birds as global population to survive on our mother Earth, which is also mother for #GIB too

The SC's recognition of the 'right against adverse effects of climate change' establishes a significant legal precedent with far-reaching implications.

No fans, no toilets parts of rural Salempur near #Ballia have no escape frm killing heat. Last June 70 ppl died of #extremeheat in 3 days in Ballia. #Climateadaptation we need basic needs met for human survival. Read our #pincode series docmentng unique challengs #India is facing

SC ruling on #climatechange should promote serious conversations on the issue but efforts to deal with it should not lead to environmental injustices: policy experts say

The judgment that allows
'choosing b/w conserving biodiversity and addressing climate change...is problematic because conservation of natural ecosystems and biodiversity cannot be separated from the climate change crisis' and opens the door for unimagined undesirable outcomes.

Always, always read judgements in their totality!
Looks like a paragraph of a school textbook on #SDGs
#climatemitigation but look closely and you have classic cc fantasies of #renewableenergy transitions in biodiverse habitats with no consideration for #pasroralism
