Sustainable Transport - Climate change's impact on transport
Chennai has seen an increase in the frequency of heavy rains and floods as a result of #climatechange. Flooding hampers daily activity, destroys transit infrastructure like rail stations and bus stops, and creates interruptions in service, leaving users stranded. We need to make our public transit provisions climate change ready and resilient by building early warning systems, response, and disaster management systems, as well as climate-responsive transit stations.

Climate Change - Impact on Trees
A new study from TU München reveals that as trees grow faster, their wood density decreases, reducing carbon absorption by up to 50%. This poses challenges for both climate change mitigation and tree resilience against mechanical stresses.

Sustainable Transport - Bring down emissions
India's transportation sector contributes about 10% of total national GHG emissions, and road transportation contributes about 87% of the total emissions. By cutting back on our trips using private vehicles, we can bring down emissions. Changing the way we travel and transitioning to #sustainablemobility is crucial to mitigating #climatechange. Let's walk and cycle for smaller trips around neighbourhoods and use public transport wherever possible.
