Zero Waste is the only destination we should be aiming for. Whether producers or consumers, we need to take meaningful steps towards zero waste TODAY. We cannot do this without us all working together.
Climate Change negatively impacts pregnant women, necessitating stronger healthcare infrastructure to safeguard them from heat-related illnesses. Further, establishing gender-sensitive emergency shelters & hotlines in affected areas is crucial.
Consumer Protection is one of CAG's core areas of work and as part of our efforts to educate and inform consumers on various consumer issues and related happenings, including our own activities, we publish "Consumer Update", a bi-monthly e-newsletter.
Young drivers lack experience and are also more likely to take risks when they are with their friends. Young people can respond to peer pressure because of their need for social recognition, and studies show that this can significantly increase the risks they are willing to take. Parents, until convinced that your child is a safe driver, accompany him on as many journeys as possible.
Indian cities naturally possess mixed neighbourhoods, allowing people to access essential services by walk. However, poor pedestrian infrastructure, and roads that prioritise motorists has reduced the effectiveness of these neighbourhoods. People resort to driving as it's the safest way to get around. Protecting our 15-minute neighbourhoods must start with prioritising pedestrian safety.
CAG has initiated the ‘Accelerating Clean Energy Transition by Improving Stakeholder Participation for Electricity Governance in India’ project in five Indian states - Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Tripura from January 2024. The initiative aims to improve stakeholder participation in electricity governance to accelerate clean energy transition in India. Stakeholders here refer to various consumer categories, CSOs, consumer groups, resident welfare associations, small and medium enterprises, trade associations, media, local communities, etc.

A recent Science Magazine study suggests that the warming avoided by planting CO2-absorbing forests could be around 15 to 30% less than previously estimated due to feedbacks such as dark trees reflecting less sunlight.
Healthy forests serve as vital carbon sinks that help mitigate #ClimateChange. Technological innovations like early warning systems, sustainable production & empowering people through land mapping are crucial for forest preservation. #ForestsAndInnovation
