Three perspectives, one crucial question. On 30 October, we’re joined by Jaya Dhindaw (WRI India), Dulari Parmar (YUVA), and Shivani Singh (Hindustan Times) to ask: is India's #Housing adequate? Have you #registered yet? #webinar #experts

What if our homes aren't built to withstand the reality of extreme heat and a changing climate? As temperatures rise across Indian cities, housing is quickly becoming ground zero for climate resilience and safety.

Joining this discussion will give you actionable insights into policy gaps, ground-level practice, and solutions needed for truly adequate housing. Aprajita, our Built Environment Manager, explains in this video. Join us on 30 October at 3pm.

Days before COP31, we got together with experts from India, Africa, and South America, for an insightful discussion on who really controls the critical minerals chain.

Our speakers agreed that the BRICS commitment to value addition now needs a project pipeline, a processing fund, and clear terms for technology transfer. Swipe for key takeaways from this conversation on critical minerals. 📷 #CriticalMinerals #BRICS #EnergyTransition

Is India's housing adequate? This #UrbanOctober, we're asking the question that sits behind every city skyline: do our homes give people the foundation to thrive- especially as our climate changes?

On 30 October, for World Cities Day, we're bringing together voices from the built environment space to unpack it. Speakers and registration link coming soon. Follow along and stay tuned! #UrbanOctober #WorldCitiesDay #AdequateHousingForAll #IndiaCities #ClimateTrends
