Your Climate Action Diary -18

Year 2022 • Week 25 • Anushthatri Sharma
Hi, 

We hope you are keeping safe ! Here is our bi-weekly newsletter, we prepared for you.

The important developments in the last two weeks provides a good window into how external influences such as a war and a pandemic are intertwine with economies and hence global emission trends. While climate action demands moving away from fossil fuels, the world constantly finds itself going back to it. 

We hope this week's newsletter will help you see why climate action needs a mature conversation and why we all need to up-our-game at understanding the ongoing climate crisis better.

Regards,
