In May this year, the Mauna Loa recording station in Hawaii, run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, came up with a startling discovery: carbon dioxide had breached the 400 ppm mark for the first time ever.

 

As we proceed in the 'danger zone', the world needs to get its act together and sign a legally binding climate treaty which will push for preventive action. The 'blind' negotiations continue this year in Poland, as urgency of collective action and responsibility rests on the world’s shoulders.
 

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) invites you to its annual two-day briefing for South Asian journalists. The briefing is expected to bring to the table the latest in negotiating stances, politics, science and impacts of climate change from across South Asia.

 

Over 90 journalists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are attending the briefing.
