In this series, we unpack climate change — the science, the impacts, and the challenges. This week, we begin with climate denial, a real barrier to climate action. When scientists publish studies, it is the responsibility of other experts to evaluate their validity. Yet among climate deniers, even well-established and rigorously validated facts are often twisted, dismissed, or attacked with conspiracy claims, spreading misinformation that downplays the science itself. Don’t be a climate denier, be a climate warrior.

Seatbelts save lives - but too many among us don't use them. In India (2023), over 16,025 people died in crashes because they weren’t wearing seatbelts. 

In Tamil Nadu, 536 lives were lost for the same reason. These are preventable deaths. Two seconds to buckle up could mean a lifetime saved. A family spared years of grief. 

Whether you’re in the front seat or the back, driver or passenger, seatbelts aren’t optional. Buckle up! 

Whose City Is This? Are Indian cities truly inclusive for everyone? Sathish Kumar, a wheelchair user, began using public buses after the introduction of low-floor buses in Chennai — completing an impressive 312 rides within a year of their launch. This milestone, made possible after decades of advocacy, marks more than personal freedom: it represents a vital step towards making our cities accessible and inclusive for all.

Our cities are growing and expanding every day, but true progress means putting people first when designing our cities. People-centred smart city is about:

Walkable, safe, and inclusive streets

Affordable housing and accessible services

Green public spaces that connect communities

Technology that empowers its citizens

Sustainable transport that keeps everyone moving

From local communities to global networks, partnerships drive progress. When governments, NGOs, businesses, and citizens work together, change becomes stronger and more lasting. Collaboration is key to achieving every SDG.

Choosing fresh, real foods over processed, high-salt, high-sugar options helps keep your brain strong and lowers stroke risk.

And remember the FAST signs:
F – Face: Smile check – any droop?
A – Arms: Can both arms lift equally?
S – Speech: Slurred or strange speech?
T – Time: Act fast! Call emergency services immediately.

Right to a motorable road = constitutional right. The Kerala High Court affirmed that citizens have a constitutional right to safe, motorable roads.

Courts are making it clear:
- Governments must maintain roads to prevent fatalities.
- Citizens deserve hazard-free, motorable routes.
- Unsafe roads violate the Right to Life under the Constitution.

Climate change is one of humanity’s greatest challenges, but there’s hope. Renewable energy is more affordable than ever, clean-tech innovations are accelerating, and investment in low-carbon solutions is growing. The next few years are critical, decisive action by governments, businesses, and communities can keep global warming below 2°C and secure a cleaner, sustainable future for all.

Strong governance and active community participation are the pillars of a peaceful, just society. When citizens are empowered and institutions stay accountable, trust thrives. Together, let’s build systems that uphold justice and protect every voice. #SDG16 #PeaceJusticeStrongInstitutions

This World Food Day, let’s reconnect with real food and the real people behind it. Every time we choose fresh over processed, we nourish our bodies and our communities.

Support your local farmers.
Choose whole, seasonal foods.
Cut down on ultra-processed snacks.
Share, don’t waste.
Practice, don’t preach. 

Because food isn’t just fuel—it’s a story of soil, sweat, and solidarity.
