Public Spaces are rare in Mumbai, are a previous leveller for citizens who wish to walk and exercise, young couples to snatch an odd moment of intimacy in an atrociously pricey city as well as for home makers to catch up on gossip calls back to the maika while walking.

The argumentative Indian is on display as there is a constant chatter of sociopolitical commentary while people engage in loud discussions.

Mangroves are natural climate adaptation mechanisms and am grateful for this particular one in my vicinity.

Climate adaptation is often not seen as social spaces of dialogue, as GHG Scope 3 emissions do not capture the social cost of carbon. This is where carbon markets fail to animate the public imagination, as if the capital markets are greatly enthusiastic.

Mumbai has a robust climate adaptation plan and has integrated disaster management into the equation. Mumbai needs to gear up for a heavy monsoon this year after a warm summer and a non winter.
