This installation at the DS Headquarters, Noida, marks a notable stride in the fight against climate change and urban air pollution. The cubical structure contains 1600 L of a Microalgae Solution which captures the same amount of CO2 as 6 mature trees.https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/international-youth-day-meet-five-young-women-inspiring-the-next-generation-of-climate-leaders/Mon, 12 Aug 2024 15:13:00 +0000https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/international-youth-day-meet-five-young-women-inspiring-the-next-generation-of-climate-leaders/A recent report from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication projects that climate change could lead to water shortages across Asia, potentially affecting over a billion people by the 2050s. Underserved women and girls are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Yet, they are often excluded from climate discourses, as emphasised in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s annual reports on ‘gender composition’ over the years. To address the climate crisis effectively, we must urgently implement an inclusive climate action strategy that empowers and platforms women and girls.https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/india-s-women-climate-collective-announces-new-cohort-to-expedite-leadership-in-climate-action/Wed, 07 Aug 2024 20:27:00 +0000https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/india-s-women-climate-collective-announces-new-cohort-to-expedite-leadership-in-climate-action/The 2023 report ‘Feminist climate justice: A framework for action,’ by the UN Women points out that by 2050, climate change may push up to 158 million more women and girls into poverty and see 236 million more face food insecurity. Though climate change significantly affects those working in the natural resource sectors, such as agriculture, its impact is not the same on men and women. Women happen to be more vulnerable due to various socioeconomic and cultural factors.
