#WorkAt45 How do people experience #heatstress? 🌡 Change in work timings compromising highly on production and income. Women working hard on-field and at home relentlessly.  Ramani (in the post)is burying fish that is his means of livelihood with 400 other fish farmers in the area.  While global phenomenon might dictate these situations, people need solutions NOW. SELCO's work on the ground helps alleviate heat stress across livelihoods, and looks at cooling needs in different sectors. To develop and scale climate-adaptive interventions, technical solutions must be customized to suit those for whom they are intended. Affordable climate-adaptive products like cool roofs and solar energy solutions should be available easily across the country with inclusive financial products. Moreover, service delivery, for maintenance, architecture and design should be included within solution packages. #heatwaves #heatstress #climatechange #ClimateAction #Sustainability #GreenTech #coolingplans #globalwarming #heatinequality #sustianabledevelopment #coolingsolutions World Health Organization, Global Heat Health Information Network, UN Environment Programme National Prog. on Climate Change and Human Health NCDC Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) National Small-Holder Poultry Development Trust ( NSPDT), Centre for Research in Schemes & Policies (CRISP), Mahila Housing Trust, Akshayakalpa Organic, APMAS, Clean Cooling Collaborative, World Resources Institute, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi , CII - Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), India Development Review (IDR) , EastMojo, Purpose The Lemelson Foundation The DOEN Foundation IKEA Foundation Good Energies Foundation

#WorldEnvironmentDay2024 55 million people are directly affected by droughts annually, making it one of the most serious hazard to livestock and crops in nearly every part of the world. This always disproportionately affects those who are least equipped to cope – indigenous communities, rural communities, smallholder farmers and especially women and youth. Climate change pushes more people into poverty and financial autonomy is key into breaking this cycle. Decentralised renewable energy and its productive and efficient use has the potential to chart alternate development pathways while not compromising the needs of the population at the margins but also taking into account for what is good for our planet. Here are some highlights on building climate resilience with communities in India.
