When I ran out of home, I never thought that 9 years since, that not only would we become water-secure at home, but that I would have written two books and invested in over 15 climate-related start-ups. Thrilled to share that my book, Watershed, is out! mridula.org/2021/11/28/water…

The problem with soil is its invisibility. But soil is critical - without it life cannot exist. New @WEF @UNCCD research shows investing in soil strengthens supply chains, reduces risk and build long -term business resilience. Read more: bit.ly/healthysoilsreport

Excellent piece in HT about hosting data centres. Are we thinking enough about the water it requires and what it means for us @mimiramesh

#HTOpinion | "Setting aside questions about the future of humanity, AI’s feet of clay — its data centres — exact tangible, if more mundane, costs across electricity, heat and water. Against this backdrop, the key question for India is not whether it should host these centres, but what it gets for doing so." @mimiramesh ✍ Know more 🔗 hindustantimes.com/opinion/d…

Here is that moment!! Payal Nag receives her GOLD medal at Bangkok and the national anthem plays. And right beside her, Sheetal - gracefully helping move her wheelchair. Two champions. One podium. One unforgettable frame. Pure inspiration. ❤️

Payal Nag’s journey is a powerful reminder: limitations exist only in the mind. From not even knowing what archery was in Balangir, Odisha, to winning GOLD at the World Archery in Bangkok, her story defines courage and belief. “I had no idea what archery was… Kuldeep sir showed me videos of Sheetal didi. That’s when I felt I could do something too.” Don’t blame fate. Work hard. Stay consistent. Success will follow. 💪

Improved National Energy Resilience. Higher Farmer Incomes Climate Action. Managing food waste does all these and more. Then why don't we do it? And how can we? open.substack.com/pub/mridul…

They also tend to be more climate resilient, and studies have shown them to provide higher dry season stream flow to downstream regions. Both important for communities around forests.
That’s why compensatory afforestation in lieu of old-growth forest can never truly compensate for their loss. Eg no new tree plantation can provide the ecosystem services of the original Nicobar forest which will be cut.

A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in the next month, with #ENSO-neutral favored through MJJ 2026 (55% chance). El Niño is likely to emerge In JJA 2026 (62% chance) and persist through at least the end of 2026. (1/2) cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/a…

We need to bring #millets back into our diets - through the PDS, school Meals & Anganwadi centres. Good for our health, our farmers & for the environment. @icarindia @ICMRDELHI @NITIAayog @EduMinOfIndia @AgriGoI
Less than 150 years ago, most Indians ate millets. That has changed, and in the process we have become more unhealthy and more vulnerable to the climate. Read on: open.substack.com/pub/mridul…
