Hello,
We hope that this edition of our newsletter finds you well. As we inch closer to the global-level climate negotiations at COP26 in Glasgow, scheduled for November, and the upcoming UN Biodiversity Summit in October, discussions around climate action are on hyper drive. With the 2021 assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) furthering the urgency of climate action, it is pressing to have discussions and deliberations on adaptation and its pivotal role in addressing climate change impacts.
Through this issue of our Newsletter, we are delighted to invite you to the Adaptation Futures Conference co-hosted by TERI with World Adaptation Science Programme (WASP) from October 4-8, 2021. We also cordially invite you to our National Conference on COP26 Charter Actions scheduled for October 13, 2021. In addition, we bring to you a report supporting the monitoring and reporting of SDG 12 in India, the launch of an e-Certificate Course on Mainstreaming Urban Climate Action, and how bioplastics can help us deal with the plastic waste problem.
