Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) believes that since Asian and African countries—which lack the ability to reduce risk or cope with climate risks— experience climate risks disproportionately, the importance of tools like agricultural insurance meant for sharing and transferring the risks are significant and therefore must receive greater

Scientific evidence has established that climate change is accelerating the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like droughts, floods, unseasonal rainfall and extreme temperatures.

This is a rapid review of the current concerns around urban air pollution and public health challenges in Nigerian cities. It aims to identify the key policy gaps that need to be addressed while framing the policy guidance on national urban air quality management in Nigeria.

The Northeast region of the country has a total installed capacity of 3,550.02 mega-watts (MW) for electricity generation. Fossil fuels—gas, coal and diesel—capacity combined contributes to 57.6 per cent of the installed capacity.

Today, in India, we face both an environment as well as a development crisis.
