Climate-smart practices in agriculture: The way forward
This is a blog on effective climate-smart agricultural practices that promote sustainability in agriculture by mitigating and adapting to climate change. These regenerative agricultural practices also enhance production and farmer incomes.
Carbon Inequality
Carbon inequality disproportionately burdens developing and under-developed regions. It further marginalizes low-income communities and deteriorates the climate. To address this issue, it is essential that countries show greater commitment and dedication to reducing carbon emissions including transitioning to renewable energy, implementing sustainable development practices, and providing support to vulnerable communities.

Promoting diversity and inclusion within an organization is an important choice to make and it requires high level of commitment to enable and sustain diversity and inclusion practices.

Supporting ASHAs for better primary healthcare
World Health Organization’s Global Health Leaders Award 2022 for Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) for COVID-19 work is the most significant international recognition ever and a proud moment for ASHAs. Given that ASHAs are a strong link between communities and the primary health system, I wish that such recognition will also result in an increased focus on enhancing their capacity building, and incentives to further health outcomes.
Responsible Climate Action
While India needs to rework its priorities and address vital issues to tackle climate change, blaming India alone for climate change is not fair. All the countries can responsibly co-operate to find solutions for climate issues.
