Every US$1 invested in climate and clean air action could return around US$15 in economic benefits.
A new UNEP & @CCACoalition report launched on #CleanAirDay finds that tackling climate change and air pollution together can deliver major economic, health and climate benefits.

The math isn't mathing.
The world spends more than three times as much on fossil fuel subsidies as it would cost to transition to clean economies for a safe climate and air.
The solutions are ready and the money is there. What’s needed now is action at scale.
Here’s how: bit.ly/3UFnsYq #CleanAirDay

🌡️ El Niño is firmly established and will intensify into a very strong event in the coming months. WMO forecasts show ~100% likelihood that it will persist through February 2027.
A very strong El Niño ≠ same impacts everywhere.

AI must be used to help solve the climate crisis — not deepen it.
Its appetite for electricity, water & land is growing fast.
AI companies must power data centres with renewable energy by 2030 & disclose their environmental footprint.
Technology aimed at protecting people must also protect the planet.

अब बिजली का बिल नहीं, सस्टेनेबल बचत की शुरुआत।
ग्वालियर (मध्य प्रदेश) के कुलदीप शर्मा ने पीएम सूर्य घर: मुफ्त बिजली योजना के तहत रूफटॉप सोलर सिस्टम लगवाया, ₹78,000 की सब्सिडी प्राप्त की और उनका पहले ₹3,000 तक आने वाला मासिक बिजली बिल अब घटकर लगभग ₹150–250 रह गया। आसान इंस्टॉलेशन प्रक्रिया और सोलर से होने वाली बचत ने उनके अनुभव को और भी बेहतर बनाया।
सोलर अपनाइए, बचत बढ़ाइए और स्वच्छ भविष्य की ओर कदम बढ़ाइए।

Two environmentalists have found what appears to be the first petroglyphs (rock carvings) from the central Ridge in Delhi. Similar carvings have been found in other parts of the Aravallis, including across Haryana, Delhi's JNU area and Rajasthan too.

Monsoon rainfall deficit of 43% as on June 27 will be reduced once it covers the entire country next month but the season, already impacted by El Niño, may not get a climatic cushion of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) to offset the impact this year.

Do read what @vardhanpatankar, who has spent years diving in and studying coral reefs in the Andaman & Nicobar, has to say about the proposal to translocate 16,150 coral colonies from the east to the west coast of Great Nicobar Island. thewire.in/environment/great…
But this ‘mitigation measure’ is an “illusion”, and translocating these colonies is tantamount to killing them, writes marine biologist @vardhanpatankar for The Wire.

VIDEO | Weather Update: IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra says, "Across India, rainfall in June has so far remained about 40% below normal. This was in line with our forecast issued at the beginning of June, which had predicted below-normal rainfall for the month. The main reasons are the delayed and weak advance of the monsoon and the absence of any low-pressure system so far in June. In addition, weak El Niño conditions prevailing over the Pacific Ocean are influencing atmospheric circulation and affecting monsoon activity..."
