Save Wetlands, Save the Planet

Fri, 28/11/2025 - 12:22

Wetlands are among our most critical yet threatened ecosystems, protecting us from floods, storing carbon, and sustaining local livelihoods. Safeguarding them begins with building strong public understanding and community stewardship. This video highlights the step-by-step process of creating wetland awareness through culturally rooted education, school engagement, and community-driven action.

Awareness programme on importance of wetlands

CAG, in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Wetlands Mission, implemented a dynamic awareness programme across communities and schools near Ennore Creek, Pallikaranai Marsh, and Pulicat Lake, using folk arts, puppet shows, competitions, and IEC tools to make wetland knowledge engaging and accessible. The initiative reached over 1,170 students and 300 community members, raising overall wetland awareness from 40.1% to 74.1% and demonstrating the power of participatory communication in strengthening environmental stewardship.

Climate Denial

Thu, 27/11/2025 - 09:57

Political climate denial isn’t just about rejecting science, it’s about refusing responsibility. For years, leaders have downplayed the crisis while being quick to blame others for its consequences. This refusal to own the problem has stalled action and shifted the burden onto communities already facing the impacts. When no one in power steps up, the crisis deepens. Political climate denial is ultimately a failure of accountability: no one wants to take responsibility, but everyone is happy to point fingers.

Understanding climate denial - A myth that it's too costly to act

Thu, 13/11/2025 - 09:55

Economic denial is one of the most persistent forms of climate denial today. It doesn’t dispute that climate change is happening, instead, it argues that solutions are too expensive or harmful to growth. In reality, the costs of inaction, from disasters, health impacts, and lost productivity, far exceed the investments needed for just transitions. Acting on climate isn’t an expense; it’s an opportunity to build a fairer, more resilient economy.

Understanding climate denial - A real barrier to climate action

Thu, 06/11/2025 - 10:10

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.

International Day of Climate Action 2025

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.
