This week an erstwhile jail-turned-botanical garden was inaugurated in Assam's Guwahati. If you are looking for one in your city, for restorative walks for the body and the soul, bookmark these green gardens.
Sikkim flash floods: Multiple government agencies and scientific expeditions red-flagged the vulnerability of Lhonak Lake in North Sikkim to a glacial lake outburst flood for at least a decade
A flash flood in the Teesta river in Lachen valley caused due to sudden cloud burst over Lhonak Lake in north Sikkim. Release of water from the Chungthang dam led to a sudden increase in water level up to 15-20 feet high downstream. For years, multiple research studies have drawn attention to the increasing size of South Lhonak Lake, primarily caused by glacier melting, and have identified it as being at risk of a glacial lake outburst flood.

The power sector is making progress toward net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050, but a more concerted effort is needed
The latest version of the Grid Code mandates regular cybersecurity audits by all users. This is yet another step by agencies such as the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to help prevent cyberattacks in the power sector.
The drought is forecast to last longer and be more intense because of El Niño climate phenomenon, which inhibits the formation of rain clouds, the civil defence authority said.
Green hydrogen is a sustainable alternative and does not emit polluting gases, making it a game changer vis-à-vis addressing environmental concerns
Contrary to projections in the previous years, when peak demand was anticipated around June or July, in 2024-25, the CEA has projected the demand to hit 256.53 GW in September. This is in line with this year's peak demand which for the first time hit a record 240 GW on September 1.
While the advantages of switching to reusable cups are genuine, they can also be surprisingly slight, and dependent upon aspects of usage that few of us think much about. A reusable cup cleaned in the sink every day for a month and then stuck at the back of the cupboard once Halloween passes may end up having a higher climate impact than the 30 paperboard cups you’d use instead

Summers errs in his approach to climate change and underdevelopment on two counts, at least. He fails to recognise the centrality of carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere in combating climate change, and he ignores the challenge to development posed by coordinated policy rate increases in the developed world
