SUMMARY:From Dust to Dust ~ by BIC
DESCRIPTION:Situated on the hot and dry north Indian plains\, the city of Delhi has always lived with dust. But in the last three decades\, dust has transformed into a problem: air pollution. \nIn the world’s most polluted capital city\, debates about dust rise and subside like seasonal storms\, never quite becoming a public priority. Why? Despite its severe impacts on health\, why does air pollution become yet another element in a deteriorating urban environment to be borne and lived with\, rather than a public emergency that calls for urgent and drastic action? \nThis talk will address these questions by situating them within the cultural politics of environment and development. \nThis session is part of the Let’s Talk Climate Change Talk series. \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Demystifying Climate Change ~ by Bangalore International Centre
DESCRIPTION:Every day we hear something unusual. A fire here\, a flood there\, a storm surge\, a cloudburst. These events affect all of us\, our well-being\, our health\, our family\, our work. Their frequency and intensity are increasing. Fortunately\, however\, we no longer lack explanations for these events. We know fossil fuels and the destruction of Nature by us humans are the primary reasons for the alarming acceleration in global warming. \nAwareness is the first step towards change\, and Rajan Mehta’s Backstage Climate is an attempt to make you aware of global warming and climate change in a simple and interesting manner. It demystifies this grim reality—the science\, the politics and the economics behind climate change. It also gives you a glimpse of the policies\, technology and solutions that can help save the planet and ensure our survival. \nGoing slightly beyond mere awareness\, the attempt is to help the reader connect the dots and develop a perspective on the reasons\, impact and solutions that can help us avoid a climate crisis. \nRajan Mehta will be in conversation with Prem Panicker. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. \nRSVP Here
