Policy & Development Advisory Group (PDAG)’s Post

🎊 We would like to thank you all for helping us achieve yet another milestone in our journey with over 10,000 subscribers to our LinkedIn #WheresPublicinPublicPolicy newsletter! Policy & Development Advisory Group (PDAG) started the newsletter to bridge the gap between the discourse in academic spaces and disseminating that knowledge to those working in the social impact sector and those passionate about policy changes because we believe in having a people-centred public policy approach. As part of our blogs, we have covered several areas including sports for social impact, the intersection of climate with migration and gender, research observations from the field, and global reports on the standing and progress of various human indicators, among others. 🖊 As we move forward, we hope to relay more knowledge and advances of the social impact space with our audience here, and if you are passionate about these topics and issues, you can subscribe to our blog series at: https://lnkd.in/gHNt9Fz7

🎬 #WheresPublicinPublicPolicy | Thrilled to introduce our next panellist in our "Where's Public in Public Policy" series for the upcoming edition titled: "Crafting Climate Narratives: Reporting & Storytelling on Climate Migration and Just Transition"! Join us in welcoming Aishwarya Mohanty, an independent journalist with over five years of experience covering rural issues and climate change, focusing on gender, caste, and marginalised communities. 🌴 Recently one of her article’s "No crops, no brides: How rising sea levels are killing India's coastal villages," published by The Migration Story and later republished by the The Guardian, delved into climate-induced #migration along Odisha’s coastline. She sheds light on the profound challenges faced by coastal communities in #Odisha amidst rising sea levels and soil salinity. As the sea encroaches upon villages like Udaykani, livelihoods are devastated, and the once vibrant tradition of weddings fades into memory. It shows how these environmental changes are not just affecting jobs and homes but also making it hard for young people to find partners. Through poignant testimonials and stark realities, she captures the urgency of addressing climate-induced migration and its far-reaching implications on both livelihoods and cultural landscapes. 👉 Read her article: https://lnkd.in/dDKXt4bV 👉 Register here to join the webinar: https://lnkd.in/gxwxYr6G #ClimateNarratives #ClimateMigration #JustTransition #CoastalCommunities #EnvironmentalChallenges #Webinar #PublicPolicySeries #WheresPublicinPublicPolicy

#ClimateChange | The Supreme Court's landmark order on April 8 signifies a pivotal step towards the constitutional imperative to safeguard lives and equality amidst climate change challenges. Triggered by a petition from wildlife activist MK Ranjitsinh and others, the court's ruling emphasised the constitutional guarantee of rights to #life and #equality, enshrined under Article 14 and Article 21. 🌾 🏭 The Supreme Court’s acknowledgement of the multifaceted impacts of climate change—ranging from air pollution and health crises to agricultural disruptions and natural disasters—serves as a call for comprehensive action. As India strives to meet its sustainable development goals, this landmark ruling underscores the imperative of harmonising conservation imperatives with renewable energy initiatives, thereby charting a path towards a more resilient and equitable future. This judgement also underscores the need to have the voices, concerns and challenges faced by vulnerable population groups due to climate change, well represented in any form of policy planning design and implementation of climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience measures. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gErZv8VB #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #GreatIndianBustard #EnvironmentalJustice #SustainableDevelopment #CarbonFootprint #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #EcosystemProtection
