The more data your data has, the more your feedback is targeted, the more Kris Krishna added. Instead of general consultants such as drinking more water, local data can promote specific actions: Change market hours or factory hours, deploy effective temperature shelters on costs or set oral water compensation stations in high -priced areas. If you know who is most vulnerable, you can act faster, she added.
But when Delhi experienced another dry summer, in the context of increasing Heat -related death And increasing climate tensions, many relief measures have been promised by the Government 3,000 water coolers In public places, changing the time of construction and construction of daytime shelters for outdoor workers and homeless peoplehas not been done yet.
This year, the heat could not even stand it for Zubaida. My blood pressure dropped, I had a headache, she said. Cutting electricity often and prolonged in her neighborhood also means that there is little time to rest at home. We need appropriate shelter and some shade to work.
Part of the problem is that the thermal action plans are not binding legally. Thermal waves are not recognized as a specific disaster of the state in almost all areas of India, she explained. Right now, only about eight states have officially claimed that the heat wave is disaster. This means that the local government is not required to prioritize heat action unless they receive a quick response instruction in the heat wave from higher levels.
The national government also unpaid Thermal waves when the Viking's notifications, which means they cannot activate financial support under the country's disaster management law.
As a result, any measure taken tends to be short -term and react. Temporary measures such as closing school doors are organized by the Ministry of Education or the oral solution with oral reserves of orders of the health departments that are being repeated every year. But these measures do nothing to build the ability to restore structure for cities to adapt to deteriorating heat conditions.
Finally, it is about building more heat -resistant cities that can adapt and minimize simultaneously, and integrate heat with other policy goals. As energy, water, job creation and air quality, Khosla explained.
Some sponsors have existed. We find that 18 centralized sponsor programs have a direct link to long -term solutions listed in HASS, such as pipe water, solar energy on the roof, et Coreera, Dalal. But many local officials do not know these resources are available. A recent modify For the Indian national disaster minimizing fund now helps countries to sponsor thermal -related actions but the awareness is still very low. India is still in the early stages of the domestic heat plan, and building a large -scale capacity is essential to help those who perform heat considers a chronic threat in a warm world.
We will soon reach the threshold of 1.5 degrees C. Set in the Paris AgreementThe world will almost certainly break. This will affect every aspect of our daily life. In the next few years, it is important to implement some long -term solutions, because they take many years to implement and even longer to have an impact.
