The World Meteorological Organisation report shows how every part of Asia was affected, from Himalayan peaks to low-lying coastal areas, from densely populated cities to deserts and from the Arctic to the Arabian seas.
The proposed amendments to the Forest Conservation Act are not only antithetical to the Forest Rights Act, but are likely to delay achieving India’s commitments on climate change.
The climate movement in the streets of Glasgow is aware that the science is clear and the solutions to the climate crisis are readily available. It is only political will that is lacking. This must be supplied by ordinary people, through creative, dramatic action and mass mobilization.
Melting glaciers, wildfires, droughts, deadly heatwaves, floods, hurricanes, loss of biodiversity. You do report these things, sometimes. But the climate crisis is much more than just this. If you want to truly cover it, you must also report on the fundamental issues of time, holistic thinking and justice.
Hydropower dams are drivers of climate change as they emit methane, 28-34 times more potent than carbon dioxide, say studies.
Measures and actions proposed by the Global Encounter of Peoples for our Mother Earth and against the Climate Crisis to curb the climate disruption and restoring the balance with our Mother Earth.

Leaders from around the world will soon gather in Glasgow, Scotland, for a U.N. Climate Summit. You can count on one thing, though: all their plans will fall far short of what’s needed unless backed by the only strategy that can save the planet: a U.S.-China Climate Survival Alliance.
Marked by extreme localised rainfall events, an unusually dry August and an unusually wet September, the summer monsoon in 2021 kept India guessing, even on its way out. Expect more of the same in future, say climate change assessments.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
