Heatwaves have become one of the most lethal and least acknowledged consequences of climate change in India. What was once an occasional extreme is now a defining feature of India’s seasonal climate,...

A three day National level Data Users’ Seminar for over 100 senior secondary school teachers and 50 students from Uttarakhand was held in Dehradun from 25 to 27th July 2010.

The World Trade Report examines differing inter-generational and international interests to make transparent, predictable, well designed and equitable trade rules with particular reference to fish, forestry, fuels and mining products. It excludes agricultural products as they are cultivated rather than extracted from the natural environment.
TWO-WAY LINK BETWEEN OZONE LAYER AND CLIMATE CHANGE International efforts to protect the ozone layer, the shield that protects life on Earth from harmful levels of ultraviolet rays, are a success and have stopped additional ozone losses and contributed to mitigating the greenhouse effect, according to a new report.
