For Chennai’s women, extreme heat is more than a climate crisis. It can mean lost wages, sleepless nights, water scarcity, worsening health and greater strain at home. In a powerful ground report, @thenewsminute unpacks how climate stress is deepening existing inequalities and, for some, intensifying the #violence they face. The story also highlights insights from MSSRF from the field, alongside findings from @MSSRF's 2025 report on the Impact of #Heat on the Health of Women in India.

“Where has the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao fund gone? Where has the Nirbhaya Fund gone? We are not angry enough as women, as voters, and as tax-paying voters” @TrishaBShetty calls for funds to be used to make streets safer for women, stressing that the focus should be on preventing such crimes in the first place. #WomenSafety #Jamui #Bihar #Crime #Justice #Accountability #IndiaNews #5Live @Sonal_MK @Letstransform

#MFICSE2026 | Reimagining Systems for a Sustainable Future The morning at ICSE 2026 connected three critical dimensions of sustainable development: stronger health systems, grounded climate optimism and a future-ready green workforce. Plenary 6, *Population Stabilisation: Reimagining Health Systems through Government, Philanthropy and Civil Society Partnerships*, brought together Ms. Poonam Muttreja, Ms. Andrea M. Wojnar, Mr. Anand Sinha and Dr. Ranjan Gautam, moderated by Ms. Anubha Bhonsle. The discussion called for context-responsive health systems that recognise the many different realities within India, strengthen preventive care and reframe population management as an opportunity for regenerative development. In his keynote, Mr. Aakash Ranison, Founder & Co-Director, Greener Earth Foundation, addressed climate anxiety and the importance of building grounded optimism, drawing from his book *I’m a Climate Optimist*. Plenary 8, *From Professionals to Sustainability Practitioners*, then explored how upskilling, fellowships and industry exposure can build the workforce needed for the green economy. The session brought together Ms. Paridhi Mishra, Ms. Afshan Ameer, Mr. Harshanth R., and C. Kaustubh Gupta to reflect on the Climate Corps journey and pathways from learning to sustainability leadership. 🔴 Join us live: piped.video/playlist?list=PL… @PopFoundIndia #MobiusFoundation #PublicHealth #ClimateOptimism #GreenSkills
