SUMMARY:Urban Ecology - a New Lens on Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to invite you to the Urban Ecology exhibition\, a collaboration with the IIHS Library and Mihir Kulkarni from the IIHS School of Environment and Sustainability.\nUnderstanding urban ecological dynamics is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate biodiversity loss and promote nature conservation within cities and for improved sustainability. However\, the process of urbanisation intertwines with social and economic factors\, creating complex interactions that demand our attention. Urban ecology addresses these challenges by studying ecology in\, of\, and for the city. Through a series of engaging activities focussed on India\, this quarter’s exhibition is curated to introduce a broader audience to this fascinating area of research. \nThe curated collection of books\, publications and research articles delves into the complex interactions between cities\, nature\, and the social factors that influence them. \nThe exhibition is free and open to all; walk in and enjoy the curation. Don’t miss the dedicated corner showcasing publications from our Small Grants Programme Projects!

SUMMARY:What is in your city's air?
DESCRIPTION:Understanding air quality for community-based solutions \n\nAre you curious about what is polluting the #air in your city? \n\nThe Center for Study of Science\, Technology and Policy’s (CSTEP’s) Air Quality sector is collaborating with the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum (BSF) to organise a webinar on 8 November 2024\, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. IST. The webinar is a part of BSF’s Climate Charche Series and will focus on the fundamentals of air pollution.\n \nIntroduction: Despite rising public consciousness and government efforts to improve air quality\, many Indian cities continue to struggle in their efforts to ensure clean air for their citizens. This is largely due to a complex set of issues\, including the lack of reliable data\, insufficient technical expertise\, limited institutional capacity\, and sub-optimal citizen involvement.\n\nLearning: By participating in the webinar\, participants will gain an understanding of air pollution\, city-specific pollutants and sources\, the Air Quality Index (AQI)\, and government initiatives for managing air quality\, including those for Bengaluru.\n \nAudience:  The webinar invites participation from community members\, young researchers\, civil society groups\, students\, and professionals.\nDate: 8 November 2024\nTime: 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. IST\nREGISTER NOW!
