Stalls in Washington,D.C. & Karachi differ significantly due to varying economic context, regulatory environment, cultural influence, consumer behavior - factors shape unique characteristics/oper. However, a commonality is that both serve low-income communities IVLP #IVLP

Over recent weeks, #India has experienced dangerous temperatures, with multiple regions under #ExtremeHeat alerts. To build resilience, Mahila Housing Trust has launched a first-of-its-kind #NetZero Cooling Station in #Jodhpur North. Learn more ⬇️ via NRDC India nrdc.org/bio/vijay-lima…

A pleasure to have participated in this 👇 conference on climate governance in Pakistan and thank you Maira Hayat for inviting me.

Weird that there is so much kerfluffle over whether we are at 1.5 now or will be within the decade. Urgent action is needed either way. And does not appear to be forthcoming. Listen to the scientists, sure, but focus on political and cultural agency.

Recent forecasts predict #Rainfall in #Karachi, heightening concerns over #UrbanFlooding & potential casualties. The city's incomplete development projects & pervasive potholes exacerbate these risks. Last-minute efforts by the govt to clean drains insufficient to mitigate impact

The Israeli army burning down the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, one of the largest in the area. Healthcare has been completely destroyed in Gaza in order to maximise Palestinian deaths. War of elimination.

308 days… And going Your heart explodes just seeing it… but for Palestinians in Gaza, it is the daily living hell. #CeasefireNOW

🚨 Almost half a billion children live in areas experiencing at least twice as many extremely hot days as their grandparents. New UNICEF data analysis highlights the disproportionate impact of heat on children: unicef.org/press-releases…

Had a productive meeting with Sirajuddin from Technical Training and Resource Center (#TTRC) on #ClimateResilience pilot study for Orangi. Karachi Urban Lab will train community on GIS & mapping & collect #ClimateData to build a GIS database for marginalized communities. 1/2

How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange? #IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence. ➡️ bit.ly/AR6WGI3

Just no words - rest in power, Tony Khan 💔 Anthony J Permal

Incredibly sad news! A huge loss . RIP Anthony J Permal.

Our future climate - what's in store? ▪️ Many climate-related risks are higher for any given future warming level. ▪️Projected long-term impacts are up to multiple times higher ▪️High risks are now assessed to occur at lower global warming levels. ➡️ bit.ly/SRYRpt23
