Perspective : Climate Change & Urban Development

In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on Climate Change & Urban Development. Cities are world’s major growth engine, generating more than 80% of global GDP, while helping millions of people lift themselves out of poverty. Global urban population is expected to grow from over 50 to 70 per cent by 2050, with a majority of that growth occurring in Africa and Asia. Unplanned growth, however, results in a proliferation of slums, congestion, pollution, lack of affordable housing, poor access to sanitation and waste management, and vulnerability to natural hazards. Although Cities occupy only two percent of land area, they are a key contributor to climate change, as urban activities are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Estimates suggest that cities are responsible for 75 percent of global CO2 emissions, with transport and buildings being among the largest contributors. Rising global temperatures in turn have costly impacts on cities' basic services, infrastructure, housing, human livelihoods and health. Cities account for 65 per cent of Sustainable Development Goal targets and 86 per cent of SDG indicators. This clearly means that making cities more sustainable, safe, resilient and inclusive will help us to achieve many of the SDGs.

Climate change is said to be must. I just want to highlight a point here is we know that organic farming is very good and its good for health, environment but because we already got used to chemical farming we cannot shift to organic farming overnight as the land is not ready and we would not get the output as much as we require so we have to continue with chemical farming use fertilizers for the output that we require. So we are consuming chemical fertilizers so its a reality so similarly I feel climate change also cannot come overnight s we are breathing some amount of pollution that also is a reality. I feel that there are more chances of a gradual change where we have organic and chemical fertilizer food available in stores similarly I feel we will have both the green and the non renewable technologies.

Although, we are knowing that urban people consume more energy as the houses are equipped with modern gadgets to live the quality life. People should become more responsible towards the environment as we know our ancestors were the worshippers of nature and environment. Also, since more and more people migrate to the cities in search of employment the burden on cities will suffer from more problems. The demand of energy will increase so taking caution government and people should shift their uses from non renewable energy to renewable energy. Once we shift on the renewable energy the carbon foot print will reduce in every sector whether it is transport, construction, pollution all the effects can be reduced just from one move and government is making its every effort to implement policy of increasing of renewable energy usage. India is one of the country which lies between tropics so solar energy has the vast scope of development and already it is in underdevelopment phase 1 percent people have already installed solar panels on their houses. India has made its international solar alliance in which most of developed countries have participated and its centre is in gurugram. More development will takes place in later phase it is just starting and I hope we can reduce carbon foot print to combat climate change

MANAGEMENT NEED
The only solution is to let things at par with the management .
The whole globe is now turning into a new era of development and India too can't now be said as a country of village soon as urbanisation is at the greates pace. The maximum Portion of population resides in urban areas and that leads a huge demand of the very thing .
Some of the benefits of living in urban are well known ie better health care , housing , transportation , schooling , employment etc all this combination make things better and livable especially . But we know that everything doesn't end without the term BUT . Urbanisation of course have various facilities but if we look at the perspective of climate there its worse than anywhere else and thats the reason why people are looking at semi urban or even a town for building their own residence.
With the high pace of development it will not take much to transform town or semi-urban into city , so why can't we do something permanent and without compromising the need of climate. But lets first see some facts of urban areas-
First we know cities are merely 2 percent in the world but consume two third ie 70 percent of worlds energy .
Second thing is that being a major workable place it creates hefty pollution and india here comes under a very dangerous zone of pollution. Our own capital is at the stake as the health crisis is mainly happening due to heavy pollution.
Third Gaziabad stands second in terms of city pollution which is a great pain as well .
Forth health related problems especially asthma which is a breathless problem is so much in cities especially those who come under the domain of industries.
Words cant be end here as the drawbacks are more than benifits there.
So what now can be done especially when a rapid urbanisation is taking place in the world -
1. We must have to have an adaptable approach , adaptable here means creating things without compromising green space. Many are doing so by leaving huge space at the middle of the road and some parking space as well.
2. We know , we are being told many time to have trees on the backyard but we also know everybody doesn't have that much space for this. Here terrace gardening is something that we can go with because that purifies air and make things beautiful.
3. Environment related concerns must be taught in schools right from the beginning.
4. Electrification a very need if the hour and we are moving in the direction as well. We have many solar parks and we have learn about floating solar energy park as well.
5 . Encouragement from the govt for greenery . Odisha govt has set an example by wiping out any lind of taxation on e - vehicle which was previously imposed.
6. Plastic ban is a clear cut solution in the direction of healthy environment as its one of the majore pollutants which neither be decomposed nor it can be burnt as it creates bad amount of toxic gases like carbon monoxide.
All these things in combination can only give us a prosper result but we know the ACCEPTABILITY is the first and last thing that can change the scenario . Govt has various schemes like swachh bharat, Atal mission for rejuvenation of urban areas , Aawas yojna all of which cant be successful until or unless public give their full support.
S we wish we will have a great and permanent solution so that we need not to rely on any kind of towers for fresh air and oxygen.

Vital points brother🙌 Various kind of schemes implementation & working on ground level these are two wide diffrence between them especially in india because , many of them ministries and its secretary are corrupt. Governments needs to be churn out policy in order to prop up the urban and the rular infrastructure along with mitigate the climate change because no one is alive and kick , if the planet is sick . So implement various schemes along with to do work with wiling. Brother, you are doing gargantuan work 🌟🌟 let's drag on🙌🙌 see you again on next prespective
