| Summary/Abstract |
In a nutshell, we can say that with abundant moisture present in the air and replenished continuously, tapping this perineal source would address the gaps in per capita availability of water. Since, its availability is not monsoon rain dependent its supply is constant irrespective of season and site. The AWG water does not have contaiminannts and hence, unlike ground water or river water, it is very safe for human health. In a way it ensures ‘health is wealth’ so good for economy of a nation. The advantage of AWG is that the supply can be customized from small capacity for individual houses to large capacity for communities. Therefore, the AWG is a wonderful Make in India sustainable solution for solving global drinking water problem. It is an effective, constatnt and convenient source of supply of drinking waterin rural, urban or remote areas.

| Summary/Abstract |
Reduction of GHG to a level within a time frame is the primary focus in international conferences so that the eco systems of nations will “adapt naturally to climate change” for ensuring food and water security. Rising atmospheric temperature is attributable to natural factors as well as varied human activities across the world which justify country specific action .Development requirements of nations determine the fuel for energy generation .Situational factors also compel to prefer high GHG emitting fuel even though it is claimed as temporary. Even so efforts to expand clean energy projects need to be sustained to fend off grievous consequences of climate change.

On 20 November, the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27), that took place in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh, concluded with a historic decision to establish and operationalize a loss and damage fund. Welcoming the decision and calling the fund essential, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that more needs to be done to drastically reduce emissions now. “The world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition.” “The red line we must not cross is the line that takes our planet over the 1.5 degree temperature limit,” he stressed, urging the world not to relent “in the fight for climate justice and climate ambition.” “We can and must win this battle for our lives,” he concluded. From 6 to 20 November, COP27 held high-level and side events, key negotiations, and press conferences, hosting more than 100 Heads of State and Governments, over 35,000 participants and numerous pavilions showcasing climate action around the world and across different sectors.

In South Asia, there has been growing need on strengthening early warning systems in sq. measure that area unit extraordinarily vulnerable to flooding, storm surges, and sea-level rise. The advantage of these investments is to reduce the economic shocks associated with extreme weather events in South Asian region. However, little effort has been created by the South Asian countries to understand the assorted effects of climate changes in annual average weather. These effects would be substantial, given the implications of climate for agricultural productivity, health, migration, and various factors. Addressing this knowledge gap is incredibly vital. Increasing proof shows that changing temperatures and seasonal precipitation patterns have already altered the growing seasons of regions in Bangladesh, and India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Climate change has nearly left its imprint on every domain of our lives. The impacts of climate change could be felt on the sanitation as well. Climate change, specially through its effects on water leads to various obstacles in sanitation. Due to various sorts of calamities such as drought, flood, landslides, cyclones, fluctuations in temperature etc., the basic amenities regarding the sanitation of the masses get hindered. Water being the prime agent in sanitation is one of the most significant resources that gets manipulated by the action of climate change. Climate change highly threatens the access to water and sanitation. In the context of the above the present paper tries to explore dimensions of climate change and human rights to sanitation, sustainable sanitation and climate change, sustainable sanitation and gaps in global climate policy, and its impact on sanitation of poor countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
Climate change has gained global attention, and various efforts have been made to address the issue. The Conference of Parties (COP) is one example of a United Nations initiative of this type; it held its twenty-seventh meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in 2022. This meeting reiterated the objective of the Paris Agreement to keep the average global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, along with the need to continue working to restrict it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. India reaffirmed its dedication to achieving net-zero emissions by the year 2070 at this summit, as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had done in Glasgow last year. India has committed to phase out all fossil fuels instead of only coal. India must, however, rely on coal power to accelerate its development. The shift to a non-coal economy in coal regions should be gradual and require significant investments. Developing nations won’t be able to fulfil their Sharm el-Sheikh Conference pledges without substantial financial and technical support, information sharing, and capacity building from wealthy nations.

| Summary/Abstract |
Humankind and its quest for development has brought the planet at the verge of facing existential crisis. Loss of biodiversity, disturbed heat budget of earth, imbalanced ecosystem equilibrium and unstable carbon cycle are all consequences to massive and unsustainable industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicular exhaust, agriculture and burning of fossil fuels. Realising the threats and inevitability of climate change, a momentum was built towards climate action which included climate governance, mitigation, adaptation and climate finances. This paper focuses on the 2022 climate summit held in Egypt (COP 27) which aims to bring climate action and collaborate to fight climate emergency. Developing strategies for decarbonisation, emission reduction and setting up long term and affordable climate finance mechanisms to facilitate capacity building and devolution of resources for efforts in mitigation and adaptation against climate change.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mountains are the water towers of South Asia and are the important source of the water for the major river systems in South Asia, providing water to millions of people. Melt water coming from these mountains is an important source to feed the rivers. However, Climate change is affecting both the precipitation patterns and glacial melting in South Asian mountains which have marked impacts on river flows, and may threaten the food security of people. In the past decades South Asia has experienced many climate changes including rapid glacier shrinking, reduction in snow cover, increase in floods, and irregularity in monsoons. We conclude that south Asia is vulnerable and the climate changes will affect it profoundly which could negatively impact the people living downstream of mountain areas. COP 27 in Sharm El Sheikh focused on the links between water and climate change and the actions required for combating climate change but the need is to not to debate only; but to act and build a sustainable world for all.

| Summary/Abstract |
The global negotiations on climate change over the course of many decades have been marred by a lot of disputes and adherence to parochial national interests by the respective countries .With these kinds of contrasting viewpoints and opposite stands, the solution to the much sensitive and urgent issue of climate change remains either postponed or halfhearted. The result is that those who have been least responsible for creating the crisis are most at risk from its ravages(Rayner, S. and Malone, E. (eds.) 1998).At the Stockholm+50 Conference held on 2nd of June 2022; the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres commented about the rising global climate emergency that ‘We face a triple planetary crisis.

Undoubtedly, there is an imperative for positive change in the patterns of lifestyles of the present and future generations. Laws and Policies alone cannot be respite to all evils that our planet suffers from. Hence, individual actions and behavioural patterns could become a critical part of the solutions to issues pertaining to climate. Thus, India’s endeavours at ‘Mission LiFe’ are crux of the climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. It entails to help people to adopt greener choices and sustainable consumption patterns. It is a good sense that will be a big step forward, if able to prevail among the global youth. The Indian campaign is a call to global youth to not only adopt sustainable life but also suggest ways to achieve sustainability that could be shared globally.

| Summary/Abstract |
COPs are the most important multilateral forum from where the directions could be provided to the global effort at arresting the global warming and climate change induced crisis that are arriving in different parts of the world as wake-up calls. Hence, the country heads are required to take time out on priority basis, else the conferences would gradually be rendered meaningless exercise and in vain. COP27 did witnessed something of that sort as the impending G-20 summit in Indonesia during the same period kept many of the leaders belonging to major powers, out of the conference. Hence, the COP27 could be counted low on delivery, owing to absence of powers that matters in the world. However, one must take into account the rising aspirations of the victims of those countries who are increasingly becoming vulnerable on account of global warming and consequent climate change.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article is focused on the decisions and discussions made at COP27 which was held at Egypt from November 06 to November 18, 2022 in an uncertain geopolitical, energy and economic context. Its outcomes were highly anticipated and results were encouraging in some ways and very discouraging in others. This meeting will always be hailed for unexpected placement of ‘loss and damage’ finance on the agenda and the ambitious goal of reaching the decision on this controversial topic. The article discusses how it also adds in parts to the existing burden of the developing countries. The major flaw with the meeting remains its inability of stronger mention of 1.5-degree Celsius target. Shri Narendra Modi, announced India’s aim of achieving net zero emissions by 2070 at Glasgow. Within one year, India has submitted its Long-Term Low Emissions Growth Strategy indicating low carbon transition pathways in key economic sectors.Responding to the call for increased ambition in our 2030 climate targets, India updated its Nationally Determined Contributions in August 2022.
