Urgently bring out a National Urban Water Policy in a consultative way, driven by a committee of independent minded persons. It should also define a water smart city, include right to water and equitable water distribution #JantaParliament

At the end of each flood season, there should be a report about what happened in the flood season with respect to flood disasters, reservoirs, embankments and disaster management through independent assessments that will also recommend fixing accountability #JantaParliament

Put maximum resources in a recovery package towards generating millions of ecologically sustainable and dignified livelihoods, such as: small-farmer based organic agriculture, assistance to pastoralists, fishers and forest-dwellers, decentralized renewable energy #JantaParliament

Enable local, self-reliant economies, through relevant schemes and programmes including MGNREGS, using local and new skills and resources, reduce distress rural-urban migration, and enable workers who have gone back home in COVID times to stay on if they want to #JantaParliament

Recognise the rights of nature as a Constitutional right, building on the traditional respect that all traditions in India have accorded it, using recent court judgements recognising the rights of Ganga, Yamuna and animals #JantaParliament

South Asia being one of the 2 most climate vulnerable regions in the world, and our climate and environmental security being inextricably intertwined with our ecological connections to our neighbours, revitalize regional cooperation mechanisms like SAARC #JantaParliament

Citizens in India are facing horrendously high levels of pollution (air, water, noise, soil, food), causing all kinds of ailments and prematurely killing millions of people. The #JantaParliament decided that the @moefcc needs to take urgent steps in

THREAD: Resolutions from #JantaParliament on Environment yesterday. India’s environment has been rapidly deteriorating, and its environmental regulatory regime weakened in the name of ‘development’ and ‘ease of doing business’

Delhi's #Ridge spread over 7000+ hectares is the only LUNG of #Delhi. It's been over a yr & yet the new Ridge Mgt Board has not been reconstituted since the previous Board has expired. @DelhiGovernment sitting on the file for over 17 mths. @AapKaGopalRai please #act soon!!!

@LetIndBreathe @HuffPostIndia @DeshmaneAkshay EIA dilutions dictated by cronies #Adani #Ambani Doesn’t matter who is taking dictation. Could even be Micky Mouse!

The fight is long! Documents obtained by @HuffPostIndia establish how this new draft Environment Impact Assessment notification, is the outcome of a 2-year process in which 2 environment ministers took it upon themselves to dilute the law @DeshmaneAkshay huffingtonpost.in/entry/environm…

EIA just reveals how careless and non-cautious the policymakers are about the Environment, Global Warming and Climate Change. Please develop your understanding about Nature! #WithdrawEIA2020 #EIAForGreenIndia @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar @PMOIndia

Removing public consultation spells disaster. Opinions of local communities and people who will get affected by the environmental impact must be taken into consideration while designing a project!!! @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar @PMOIndia #EIAForGreenIndia #WithdrawEIA2020

#India has pledged to the #ParisAgreement 2015. Its activities are already seen as insufficient to limit global temperature rise. The deforestation that the new #EIA will set off will be in complete violation to this agreement. #WithdrawEIA2020 @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar

India has already lost over 1.6 million hectares of tree cover in the last 2 decades - why do you think increasing this number will do ANY GOOD? @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar @PMOIndia #WithdrawEIA2020 #EIAForGreenIndia

All the building and construction projects are now out of the purview of the public consultation process. Why? Do construction projects not acquire land? Do they not cause pollution? Why the exemption? #WithdrawEIA2020 #EIAForGreenIndia @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar @PMOIndia

Demonstration to Withdraw Draft EIA 2020 in Jaipur. Dear Politicians, Are you listening? Please don't spoil the future of india for favouring crony capitalists. Thank you for standing up Friday's For Future Jaipur! #WithdrawEIA2020 #EIAForGreenIndia
