.@OffTiss and @orfonline curated a panel discussion as part of the Hyderabad Policy Conclave: The Indian Era.
The panel explored new modalities of development partnerships for filling the ODA gap in development #finance, especially in sectors of #climate, #health, and #foodsecurity. It would also examine how North-South and South-South Cooperation can be strongly leveraged to balance geopolitical risks, strengthen multilateralism, and thus ensure long-term sustainable development.

⚠️Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region has lost 70% of its #biodiversity in the last century.
#IPBES plays a crucial role in addressing this crisis by highlighting the magnitude of this challenge, offering viable solutions, and consistently communicating the urgency of the situation.
It’s imperative to incorporate nature into investment strategies, acknowledging its pivotal role in providing solutions.
There is a critical need to advocate for innovative global finance, particularly directed towards vulnerable regions like the #HKH.

The #GigWorkers social security legislation recently passed by #Rajasthan State Assembly, is a modest, but important breakthrough. Many struggles ahead, but this law wins new rights for workers in a "gig" economy. Do watch, discuss, & spread the word

Delhi is under water. Unlike previous floods when floodwaters affected poor people living along the #Yamuna, this time posh colonies are marooned too. Water treatment plants shut. @yamunajiye ji had kept warning against destroying the river's floodplains.

After a cool March & early April, temperatures in Delhi are rising. The Delhi Govt. has issued heat wave advisories to schools. Must listen to my dear friend @aditya_vpillai podcast with @samzsays @the_hindu on extreme heat, the wet bulb phenomenon and India's heat plans.
In a podcast with @samzsays @the_hindu, we discuss extreme heat - the wet bulb threat, dealing with India's vulnerabilities, and how well prepared India's heat plans are: thehindu.com/podcast/is-indi…

Excellent thread by Omair Ahmad @third_pole's Managing Editor on why the science on the Himalayas as an immensely fragile and disaster prone landscape due to climate change and rampant infrastructure development has been clear for a longtime. #himalayas #climatechange #disasters

So many calls about China, about what that means for India, about XBB, about 3rd waves, about new mandates, about travel bans, about vaccine boosters- thought best to get views out to summarise the current situation. Long thread, be warned 🙂 1/n
