Your Climate Action Diary - 25

Year 2022 Week 41 Anushthatri Sharma

Hope you have been well ! 

With little less than a month away from COP27, we are beginning to pick up interesting signals on climate action developments. While there has been a definite progress over the years, since our first newsletter, the question really remains - are we transitioning quickly enough? Add to that mega-events such as the massive methane leak (a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon), last week!

Let us know what you think at : [email protected]. And feedbacks too. We thrive on them.

Stay Safe,

Harish,
