Extreme heat is emerging as one of the deadliest consequences of climate change, threatening human health, livelihoods, food and water security. @iustjk @CoE_glaciology @moefcc @IndiaDST @CANSouthAsia @NITIAayog

Cities create their own heat. 🌆🌡️

Built surfaces such as asphalt and concrete absorb and store heat during the day, then release it slowly after sunset.

Designing cooler, greener, more inclusive cities is now a public health priority.🏙️

Rising greenhouse gases threaten to accelerate warming, glacier retreat and water insecurity, particularly in the Himalayas. Urgent, science-led climate action is imperative. @iustjk @CoE_glaciology @CliC_WCRP @CANSouthAsia @moefcc @IndiaDST @UnivofKashmir @APNGCR @NITIAayog

Concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in our atmosphere are higher than ever before.

The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin reports on the amount of gas that accumulates in the atmosphere, not new annual emissions.

At @iustjk, we r committed to advancing research and innovation in emerging technologies. The 2-day workshop organized by our CoE for Semiconductors & Quantum Materials reinforced our resolve to contribute to India's technological self-reliance. @GoI_MeitY @PrinSciAdvOff

On 29th of Oct, participated virtually in this panel discussion, part of @iustjk CoES&QM initiative to drive thought leadership in these futuristic domains.

I contributed on the topic - From Lab to Fab: Advancing India’s
Semiconductor and Quantum Ecosystem
for Viksit Bharat@2047.

It was so heartening to see deliberations talking place in domains of semiconductors and quantum technologies in valley which aligns with what I have been proposing for sometime now that we need to take silk and silicon along in the valley. That will shape the future of our economy and society.

Compliments to Prof @shakilrom VC IUST and the entire IUST management for stirring such forward looking discussions in the valley.

Rightly said that DRR must be integrated in the DNA of developmental plans @iustjk @ndmaindia @nidmmhaindia @CoE_glaciology @UnivofKashmir

Disasters can set back years of development efforts in a single day. That’s why disaster risk reduction must be integrated in the DNA of all climate and development plans and strategies .
