We are boiling, but we don’t know what to do about it? We continue to drag our feet on core mitigation actions. Propose more 🌳4adaption. Science 👉🏽this won’t cut it. Keep cutting nevertheless. Latest: #hottest feb in #mumbai & parking lots under well nurtured green spaces! Why?? – at Mumbai, India
Almost exactly a year ago, I was in Delhi. We'd just launched the @IPCC_CH 6th Assessment Report, where I had written the text on impacts of extreme heat for Asia. I'd read 1000s of papers and assessed various adaptation options. It was 2022 and I was stuck in a heatwave.
Congratulations @mybmc, senior leaders, partners and colleagues who made this great honour possible! Much needed positive motivation to keep us all driven and on track to 2050! 🎉 🎉 – at Mumbai, India

Was great to speak on this excellent panel on gender, intersectionality, diversity, equity and inclusion through climate action planning. Thank you @Kubernein for having me, and hosting this incredibly important discussion! – at Mumbai, India
It was my pleasure to moderate this conversation for @Kubernein on the ways climate action plans, like the one #Mumbai has, can be made more inclusive. Consul Generals of five countries - Canada, Spain, Germany, France & Sweden - came together to make this event happen.
And therefore water conservation - through lake restoration, in situ percolation, functional RW harvesting - and strong push on grey water treatment & reuse is a must! Strong push on localised solutions is critical to ensure water security amidst climate uncertainties. #MCAP – at Mumbai, India
Monday was the first day of @mybmc rolling out a 10% cut in water supply. However during several years in the past the city has witnessed steeper cuts, indicating how dependent as a mega city are on the #monsoons. (1/2)

Pre-monsoon landslide preparedness trainings underway in landslide prone settlements in Mumbai. Trainings scheduled every Sunday by @mybmc’s disaster management dept., in collaboration with @OfficialYUVA, @TISSpeak, AADM and @WRICitiesIndia
#DidYouKnow CPR: must be given on floor, 100-120 repeated pumps with hands overlapped (as shown by this child practising), followed by breathing into patients mouth, while blocking nasal breathing. Ensure chin is up and head titled back. Wear your mask if possible. – at Chembur, Mumbai

Landfill fires are our collective failure as a society that continues to treat their waste irresponsibly despite all the warning signs. These images of the #Bhalswa landfill are truly horrifying! Scientific remediation is impossible if we continue to send our waste to landfills
Massive fire at #Bhalswa landfill in Delhi;
The garbage mountain is burning;
Accident or intentional? @CPCB_OFFICIAL @DPCC_pollution @CAQM_official
It is humiliating to fall as a grown person, while simply walking on the steet. One cannot merely saunter in Mumbai, one must always be on the look out… never know when your careless walking will land you in a cast or worse! @mybmc please make this chamber flush with road level

10.30am y’day morning in #mumbai sweltering heat on the road. Fortunately I found refuge on a bench under a lush tree in a private bldg, most would not be allowed. Shade, resting, waiting spaces are a public good, and public health concern. #heat #resilient #streets for #mumbai

Today: 33deg, but with 76% humidity feels like 36deg! Indoor temperatures in poorly ventilated homes and workspaces, are even higher. More awareness on humid heat a must for #Mumbai. #Mumbaikars stay hydrated. #MumbaiClimateActionPlan – at Mumbai, India
#October heat seems to have already hit Mumbai with rains taking a break. On Monday maximum temperatures recorded in the city touched 34.5 degrees which was one degree above normal.
Huge response from #Mumbaikars so far. Eager to hear more from you all. Please share feedback on the MCAP website, the window will remain open through the process. Thank you #Mumbai for the support so far! @MumbaiNewsRT @ChatterjeeBadri @tanushreevenkat @insenroy @Spandan_Sharma – at Mumbai, India
