Western Europe experienced two-month normal precipitation in just two days on 14th and 15th July 2021 causing flood havoc and loss of life in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg. This was followed by an infernal and unprecedented heatwave in North America in previous months. People of Canada and the northern USA have experienced a kind of tropical summer heat up to 490C. It makes no more sense to ignore the warnings of the scientific community. We need sincere and urgent action to mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change. In India, monsoon fury is felt in some places, especially in the western part of the country.

Monsoons are spreading over the Indian landmass. The showery season is on. In 1950, Vanamahotsava festival was started by the Govt. of India. First week of July was declared for this national green festival to inspire and involve people for massive tree plantation. We need to revive the spirit of the festival for a greener India. Haryana government announced pensions for trees above 75 years of age. We shall appreciate the declaration for respecting tree as a living entity and their ecosystem services. Let us hope the age-old trees all over the country are conserved with such incentives and measures.

Winter is setting in, crops in the countryside are ripening and some crops are being harvested. Cloud burst and incessant rain in the last month flooded Hyderabad city and other parts of region. Hyderabad city witnessed a great misery. Built environment that ignored the integrity of the terrain and its natural elements caused the submergence, devastation and loss of life. A thorough introspection and vision is needed to make the Hyderabad a livable city. And the vision and plans are not enough, it requires a determined implementation of the urban development. Hope the lessons will lead to such strong commitment.
