KEY POINTS
· The southwest monsoon arrived over Kerala on Sunday, three days ahead of its normal onset date of June 1, only the fourth occasion since 2010 when it occured before time.
· This year, most of India experienced scorching heatwaves. With the scientific community now sure of this situation worsening, the need is for the Union, state and local governments to implement the heatwave action plan laid down by the 2016 national guidelines (with revisions in 2017 and 2019).
· The Ahmedabad local government had developed and implemented its heatwave action plan as far back as 2013. That has not inspired several others, indicating the reality of climate change has not sunk in for most.
· For instance, the 2019 iteration has not had much of an impact on the farm sector, though there is a blanket action point for all ministries and departments at the central and the state levels to take action as needed on “occupational support and advisories” and for the central and state agriculture ministries to promote short duration and heat-resistant crops.
· India must also find ways to stop the transgressions on its fragile environment by pursuing a template of anti-ecological growth.
