The likelihood of volcanic eruptions coinciding with climate-related storms, droughts, floods or other disasters is increasing due to climate change. This makes planning and responding to crises more challenging.
Madhumati's current focus lies in advocating for national and state-level road safety policies. Before this, she interned at CMDA, representing the School of Planning and Architecture Vijayawada, working on the 'Grid of Roads' project. In this role she was involved in analysis, design and mapping of roads, assisted with field visits, and documentation and prepared detailed reports for the same. With a background in architecture and urban planning, her strong commitment revolves around ensuring equitable access to essential needs and services for all. Beyond her professional endeavors, she has a profound passion for art, which she expresses through conceptual photography; she also finds joy in exploring new places through travel.

The relationship between India's progress towards achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our commitments to energy transition is multifaceted and complex. As India stands at the forefront of progress during its G20 presidency, there is no time like now to demonstrate to other nations how momentum during transition can be accomplished while navigating challenges such as renewable energy intermittency, substantial capital needs, and the social implications of moving away from fossil fuels.
Imagine we had a common mobility card for Chennai and I took a bus and then switched to Metro. How much of the fare I pay will go to MTC and how much to Metro? Since all public transit would be using the common card, all the fares would go to one account. Then it has to be accurately and efficiently redistributed. With some public transit managed by the Centre and others by the state government, and some as partnerships between the two, this is a complex process!
Over the past decade, the polar bear population has declined by approximately 40% due to the diminishing Arctic sea ice. As the ice recedes, polar bears are forced to swim longer distances in search of food, leading to higher exhaustion & mortality rates. #ActNow

Depending on our needs, we might need to use a variety of public transport (like buses, Metro, etc,). Each transport operator in Chennai uses different pricing methods. To make travel using different modes seamless and equitable, no matter how far we go, or which mode we choose, ticket prices must be more or less similar. This will ensure that people have a range of transport options; and people can pick what works best for them without worrying about the cost of the journey.
In the era of climate change, one thing that is constant is the occurrence of unpredictable weather. This edition of St(o)ppwatch brings you news on human displacement due to climate change, the role of battery startups in energy transition and much more!
A common mobility card is one card you can pay into, which you can then use to travel on buses, trains, metros, or even share autos. It eliminates the need to carry cash for tickets and speeds up the ticketing and transfer processes. The advantages of a common mobility card include its ability to forecast transportation needs and better understand consumer behaviour. Several countries around the world have their own versions of it. In India, the National Common Mobility Card is an effort at this.
