The coastal areas of #TamilNadu are vulnerable to #SeaLevelRise due to #Climate change. This in turn causes shoreline erosion, cyclone surges, excessive precipitation, flooding and extreme events resulting in severe loss of human life, damaging ecosystems and property.
How wonderful would it be, if we could just cross our streets without a heightened sense of vigilance. Let's make it a reality. Demand #NationalPedestriansDay - https://bit.ly/30VqNH7 #WalkIndia
Science has the power to take this world to new levels. We should bring science closer to society to increase the knowledge and awareness of the general public for Building Climate-Ready Communities and saving the #Earth from #climatechange. #WorldScienceDayForPeaceAndDevelopment
Road traffic injuries are predictable and preventable. Let us get to know the draft rules on #childrestraints by MoRTH so that we can take the right step towards children's safety on roads.

Nitrous oxide, Sulphur dioxide and fluorinated gasses are other #GreenhouseGases which also contribute to climate change. A conscious and drastic effort in reducing their emissions is vital in working towards a cleaner, greener, safer, and healthier society around the globe.
Children are vulnerable road users and are at a high risk of road traffic injuries. Are we really considering the specific needs of children while planning for road infrastructure and road safety?

Do we want to prioritise people or private cars? Infrastrucutre focus should shift from parking space for inanimate vehicles to developing spaces for people. #sustainablemobility #urbanmobilityindia
Following the achievement of inclusion of road safety as a part of the global health and development agenda, NOW is the time to accelerate action. Let's help action the Global Road Safety Plan.

As per a joint assessment by Climate and Clean Air Coalition & United Nations Environment Programme, a 45 per cent reduction in #methane emissions would prevent 260 000 premature deaths, 775 000 asthma-related hospital visits, 73 billion hours of lost labour from extreme heat, & 25 million tonnes of crop losses annually.
Pedestrians are legitimate road users. It's time for pedestrians to reclaim their space on our streets. Demand #NationalPedestriansDay - https://bit.ly/30VqNH7 #WalkIndia
