📢 Scientists of the @IPCC_CH released their latest report today. #Climatechange is causing dangerous & widespread disruption, the report finds. #Gender features prominently and is mainstreamed throughout the report. Here are a few key takeaways:
ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/
Gender worsens the impact of #climatechange, making it harder for women & gender minorities to cope. But even among women, the impact won’t be uniform. Location, poverty, race/ethnicity, religion and age all compound an individual’s vulnerability to #climatechange
This means women and gender minorities who are poorer with limited access to resources, those from marginalized communities and elderly women will be hit harder. Some of this I’ve unpacked in my previous reporting.

I usually avoid talking about any work that we do for fellow citizens. Firstly to avoid boastfulness & secondly we are not doing anything. Its only God (Iswara) who gives us opportunity to do something

But this time, I am writing & that's mainly to increase awareness. #sundarban
Sundarban area in Ganga delta consists of 100+ islands formed by innumerable creeks and tributaries of Ganga-Bidyadhari-Matla-Noni-Ichamoti-Raigmangal rivers.

Out of 54 inhabited islands, we could reach out to only 2-HerambaGopalpur & Moipit

Mathurapur-2 block, South 24 pargana
With our limited resources, we could provide to each of 300 families

-4 kg rice
-1 kg dal
-400 gm mustard oil
-2 kg potato
-Packet of Soybean
- 500 g chicken

Too little when the islands have population of 10,000+

Queue was always way much more than we could arrange
