Future-proof our cities by mandating high energy-efficiency standards for all new buildings—LEED and beyond. Efficiency is freedom: it reduces long-term costs, boosts resilience, and slows climate change. Let’s build smart from the ground up.#GreenBuilding #MahVotesforEnvironment

Heatwaves are here to stay. Each district needs its own #heatWaveActionPlan,tailored to local needs and crafted with expert guidance. From natural cooling systems to better shelters, these solutions should be a priority. Prepare or face the consequences #MahVotesforEnvironment

Maharashtra’s climate budget allocates ₹10.5k cr to urban flooding & water—only ₹9.7k cr to heat stress. Cities need more for shade, cooling centers, and energy-efficient buildings to tackle rising temperatures. Funding must reflect urgency.#GreenBudget #MahVotesforEnvironment

Not everyone can escape the heat. Map the most vulnerable—school kids, blue/white-collar workers, farmers, gig workers, and outdoor laborers. Build policies that protect the most exposed. #HeatProtection #MahVotesforEnvironment Read the manifesto - tinyurl.com/mwefyys7

Increase the electricity bill tariffs by at least 50% for those residential and commercial buildings that indiscriminately use high power consuming devices like ACs. Allot more funding from the Maharashtra climate budget to heat stress in urban & rural areas.

Ensure that at least 80% of all public transport (including buses, trains, metros, monorails and ferries) in each district separately, is non-air-conditioned. Cancel the plans of air-conditionization of public transport. #MahVotesforEnvironment

Mumbaikar50 That doesn't mean that one can misuse ACs just because of following a 'blind ignorant trend' that everyone is upgrading. Please look up AC regulations in Europe-Spain, Germany, France. Ideally one has to limit their cooling emissions,India is ignorant & doing the opposite

Yash Agrawal Mumbaikar50 Natasha Pereira 🌎🌱🐯 SavePuneHills Radhika surendra deonalli Zidaan Castellino🌱|Environmentalist🌊 ✌🏽 💚 Amrita Bhattacharjee Pratik Chimane 🌍 Pooja geeta seshu Krunal Mourya I #Saveajnivann Replacing all non-AC local trains in Mumbai with AC trains will make travel unaffordable for millions of poor Mumbaikars Smart Cities are concentrating wealth &power in hands of few &pricing out poor& middleclass. This will alienate 100 crore Indians &increase heat island effect

Gems Any expert will say that ACs contribute to global warming.Their power consumption is more than 15x than that of ceiling fan & the energy comes from burning of coal.Their refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases that trap heat & their waste heat raises city's temp by more than 2°C

Craters of Mumbai (Potholes ka Parivar) We may have different views on this. The fact is AC trains benefit only the rich with increased fares, not the majority working class heroes. Increasing the frequency of trains will help. Non-AC trains are eco-friendly, I don't understand why people are allergic to natural breeze

A word of thanks and gratitude to Raja Rahebar Khan for highlighting the fact that Bandra Station is in need of greenery outside. Making life easier and cooler for commuters. Responsible leadership for the planet, environment first. Thank you. 🌏💚😊
