[Fox News] Kamala Harris is once-in-a-generation candidate and this is a once-in-a-generation moment for America

From the sidewalks of Oakland to the halls of the White House, Kamala Harris’ story is the stuff dreams are made of…the American Dream. Because where else could the daughter of immigrants rise to the highest office in the land, shattering glass ceilings all along the way? Only in America.

Of course, she had plenty of examples to show her what was possible. Coming to America from India at only 19-years-old, her mother became a celebrated biologist. Her father had come from Jamaica, studied at UC Berkeley and became a renowned economist and professor at Stanford. So, they raised her not only to see what is and what has been, but to imagine what is possible — not who we are, but who we can be.

It worked because she thrived on that possibility. It took her to Vanier College in Montreal, Howard University and the University of California College of Law, San Francisco. It drove her to organize for justice. It helped her prosecute murderers and rapists as the District Attorney’s chief of the Career Criminal Division and eventually become San Francisco’s district attorney herself, then attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president.

It gave her the moral clarity to fight the big banks who paid for their own misdeeds by foreclosing on working families. It gave her the strength to fight for students and veterans who were taken advantage of by a for-profit education company and it gave her the tools to win bringing rent relief and badly needed resources to low-income communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, to deliver student debt relief to countless American, to help create millions of new jobs and more.

Now, because it’s her time and her turn, she is zooming through and into history and nobody deserves it more. Yes, we recognize that politics is a contact sport and we know that the attacks will come. In fact, some are coming already.

But we also recognize that a lot of the folks wearing different jerseys than we are keep running the same old plays of racism, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance and hate. From birtherism 2.0 and dismissing the vice president as a DEI hire, to claiming she “became Black” and purposefully mispronouncing her name, it’s clear that the closer we get to history, the louder and sicker they become.

That’s OK. She can take it because the contrast is easy to see.

It’s not just about the prosecutor vs. the felon or even the undeniable truth vs. rapid fire lies. It’s about progress vs extremism. It’s about who we can be.

Think about the landmark legislation Vice President Harris helped marshal through Congress and into law. Think about all the executive orders to raise wages, fight climate change, protect reproductive freedom and more that she helped make reality. Now compare that to the four years of deprivation and degradation we saw under Donald J. Trump. 

Of course, elections are about the future forecast. So, compare former President Donald Trump’s all but official endorsement of the plans laid out in Project 2025 to President Harris signing a real bipartisan border security bill into law, protecting a woman’s right to control her own body and make her own health care decisions, extending the child tax credit that cut child poverty in half, building on the more than 15 million jobs she already helped create. 

Compare Trump’s plan to declare martial law to President Harris strengthening the middle class, growing small businesses, expanding health care, keeping medical debt off your credit report and making sure no one raises taxes on Americans who make less than $400,000 per year.

While Harris knows that affordable internet is a must not a plus for all Americans, the MAGA Republicans refuse to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program. And while they’re screaming about imagined crises, we’re talking about raising wages, closing the wealth gap, lowering the cost of childcare and making sure getting sick doesn’t mean going broke.

That’s just a hint of the differences.

Simply put, Vice President Harris is a once-in-a-generation candidate who has generated more power and energy for this country than Duke Power. It’s been less than a month since she announced her campaign for president and she’s already unifying the Democratic base, expanding our coalition, stretching the map and forcing the Republicans to short circuit.

In less than two weeks, Vice President Harris has recruited nearly 200,000 volunteers, sparked nationwide grassroots organization, secured the Democratic nomination and raised $310 million, which is twice as much as Trump raised through all of July. 

From campaign calls to rallies to local volunteers knocking on doors on a Saturday morning, folks are getting tuned in all across this nation like we’ve never seen before. It’s unprecedented. It’s historic.

Vice President Kamala Harris is a once-in-a-generation candidate and this is a once-in-a-generation moment for America. The choice is clear. Will we choose truth or lies? Will we choose hope or hate? Will we choose the future or be doomed to repeat the past?

Well, like the vice president says, we are not going back.

From wildfires in Canada to flooding in India, people across the world are dealing with the realities of climate change. The world recorded its highest temperatures ever this summer and the climate models for 2100 make sobering reading.

To tackle climate change we need a data-driven approach, using technology to help decarbonize the sectors that contribute to it. The transportation sector is the largest contributor to climate change in the US and Europe. Simply put, travel is in need of a long-overdue update. The good news is that, in 2024, we will kickstart that much needed moment for green mobility.

The International Energy Agency estimates 55 percent of the reductions needed to cut all greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 are linked to everyday consumer choices, particularly driving.

Over two-thirds of consumers cite the lack of electric charging stations as the biggest barrier to buying electric vehicles (EVs). However, new legislation, such as the European Green Deal and universal EV charging standards in the US, will help to put new chargers on the road.

The infrastructure is growing, but the information is still catching up. That’s why, to empower drivers with the information they need, Google has updated its Search experience to make it easier to research the costs and incentives associated with EVs. Google Maps also shows nearby EV chargers and offers eco-friendly routing—providing directions optimized for fuel or battery efficiency. In 2024, drivers will not only be able to more easily purchase an electric vehicle, they will be able to more easily charge them. The theory is simple: When billions of people have the tools to make more informed decisions, meaningful change is possible.

The impact of individuals grows exponentially when coupled with systemic investments by government officials and business leaders. We all know the feeling of impatience when waiting for the light to turn green. It’s not just an inconvenience, it’s bad for the environment—US Department of Energy data suggests that eliminating idling vehicles is equivalent to taking 5 million cars off American roads. In partnership with local governments, Google (where I am the chief sustainability officer) recently expanded Project Green Light—which leverages AI to improve traffic light efficiency—to 12 cities around the world. Early results show there’s potential to reduce the number of vehicle stops by up to 30 percent, lowering emissions for up to 30 million car trips monthly. Yet, we cannot focus exclusively on cars—providing sustainable public transport is also vital. Nowhere is the value clearer than in Japan, a leader in high-speed rail. One passenger traveling between Tokyo and Osaka emits 4.2 kilograms of carbon dioxide—one-twelfth the emissions of a passenger on a Tokyo-Osaka flight. That's why it's so important for people to have information on alternative, climate-friendly modes of transport at their fingertips—including comparable train routes, biking, and walking suggestions. This also illustrates the potential impact of projects like the Brightline train, designed to connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas by electric, high-speed rail.

Along with opportunities on roads and rails, in 2024 we will make progress on our skies. Aviation is responsible for 3.5 percent of global warming—35 percent of which is non-emissions related. The culprit? Contrails—the feathery white trails created by airplanes. They may look harmless, but they trap heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere. Using AI-based technology, Google partnered with American Airlines and Breakthrough Energy to reduce contrails by 54 percent—achieving the first proof point of verifiable and cost-effective contrail avoidance. Delta Airlines, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and others are also working to tackle the issue. In 2024, clean mobility will move closer to the norm across transportation, not the exception.

Jumu'ah Sohbet: 13 September 2024

This Sohbet will take you on a proverbial flying carpet through the past, present, and future. With Allah, we go, Bismillah!

#1. We are living such turbulent times in our modern era!:

However, intellectuals Mehdi Hassan and Rob Delayney advised those of us deflated by man's state of affairs: "Don't be pessimistic about the future because this is your moment to relive history." Implying that at some point in our history, this sense of apocalyptic demise has been experienced before. Look, despite COVID, Climate change and War, they are continuing to make my accident old news 😅

Spiritually, Hazrat Jalaluddeen Rumi (RA) says: "Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty." I couldn't agree more because what keeps us grounded, apart from the maddening crowds, is our spiritual connection through our Tariqa (spiritual school) that keeps us conscious of the truth and reality of La ilaha illalah (There is no god but God / Allah)! We are therefore programmed to see the positivity and beauty of Allah, no matter how much human ugliness is projected around us. Shukran Ya Allah (Divine gratitude)!

#2. We just passed the 6th of Rabi ul-Awwal which marks the Wisaal (Divine meeting) or Urs (Divine wedding) of the spirtual monarch of our country, Hazrat Shaykh Sayed Ahmed Badsha Peer (RA). His resting place was round the corner from where I worked pre-accident, and at a particularly sad time in my life, his spiritual solace carried me through it! In the middle of Durban's humble inner-city within a multiracial cemetry during a racist passage of South African history itself. Subhana'Allah (Divine glory)!:

Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA) arrived in Durban from South India as an indentured labourer in 1860 and was recognised by the British authorities as a spiritual personality and discharged of his duties. I remember telling visitors that his legacy as an indentured labourer was that his plot of sugarcane was always harvested at the end of the work day, without him having to sweat, were some of his mystical abilities. He passed away in 1894 in the precinct of the Grey Street Juma Masjid and buried in the Brook Street Muslim Cemetery. He was from amongst the Majzoob category of Sufis, who are totally drowned in the love of Allah, making them unaware of their own physical conditions. Due to this, people never recognised his spiritual position! It was in 1895 upon the arrival of Hazrat Soofie Saheb (RA) that in pure Sufi ethic, he first went to pay homage to the great Awliya (Friend of Allah) of this country. And, in doing so, located the grave of Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA), making it known for the first time that here lies "BADSHA PEER" (A King amongst Spirtual Guides)! [Chishty Sabiree Jahangiri Khanqa and Research Centre]

This was at a time when I was not even a Sufi murid (follower). As the Sufi adage goes, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Shukran Ya Allah that he did, in the form of Shaykh Taner Ansari of Allahistan! It is also where your Mimi's Ummi is laid to rest with Allah in this world. Allah blessed your Mama and me with Mimi's blessed presence in our lives where she sought me out at the nearby offices and spiritually enlivened my consciousness of the blessing round my corner. Allah, if Hazrat Badsha Peer (RA) was involved in the spiritual mechanics of keeping me alive after a 2-month coma as it was while I still worked there, please convey Your love and eternal gratitude on my behalf:

Ya Shakur Ya Wadud!

#3. Anne (our spiritual mother) asked us to contemplate on the English translated version of Sura 89 of the Chronological Edition of the Qur'an as renewed by our Tariqa, Al-e Imran (The Family of Imran). I couldn't stop the outpouring of insights and awe within me towards Allah's words in those 200 verses. For example, I will just share 3:

- V4: Allah as the mighty establisher of consequences. (Yes, us human beings with free will must be made to feel the consequences of our choices!)

- V7: Some messages of the Qur'an are clear, but others are allegorical. Allegorical means containing a moral or hidden meaning. (As a past Qur'anic Arabic student herself, I had felt that the Qur'an is either too simplistic or too deep which drove me to keep trying to connect to it or altogether evade it! Until, unexpectedly and gloriously, did our Tariqa delve into it as richly as it did, where at virtually every other verse I am compelled to contemplate!)

- V86: The community of disbelievers who reject truth after it has come to them! (Like extremist Jews and extremist Christians that firmly hold onto their forefathers' practices! But, Islam was the most recent of Abrahamic religions, which affirmed their paths and with reasoned caveats. Another reason the community of the middle path [ummatan wasatan] makes more sense, if you ask me):

In conclusion, we enter Yuwm un-Nabi, which is an annual celebration of the birth of Rahmatul lil 'Alameen (Mercy of the worlds), our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)! Insha'Allah, it is a well-executed success as planned, which unites us deeper:

Ya Ghalib Ya Azim (Yearning Allah's ability to succeed)

Ya Wadud Ya Salaam Ya Jami Ya Nafi (and Allah's love, peace and unity in goodness)

The Resolution of Water for Every Home is Becoming a Reality: Rajvardhan Rathore’s Vision for a Sustainable Future

In recent years, one of the most pressing global challenges has been water scarcity. With climate change affecting the natural water cycle and the growing demand for fresh water due to rapid urbanization and population growth, water conservation has become more crucial than ever. In India, where many areas face chronic water shortages, the call for a sustainable solution has been growing louder. Amid these challenges, former Union Minister and current Member of Parliament, Rajvardhan Singh Rathore, has emerged as a champion for water conservation and a strong advocate for ensuring that every household has access to clean, reliable water. His vision for a water-secure India is now turning into reality, offering hope to millions across the country.

The Vision: Water for Every Home

Rajvardhan Rathore, known for his distinguished career in sports, politics, and social activism, is now focusing his energy on resolving one of the country’s most critical issues: water scarcity. His initiative aims to ensure that water is no longer a distant hope for people in rural and urban areas alike. Rathore’s approach is rooted in the belief that every home in India should have access to clean, potable water, regardless of geographical location or economic status.

He has been actively involved in raising awareness and garnering support for sustainable water management practices, advocating for the use of technology, government policies, and community-driven solutions. Under his leadership, several programs have been designed to transform the water landscape in India, making water security a tangible reality for the masses.

Empowering Communities and Leveraging Technology

Rathore’s vision is not just about ensuring water availability but also about changing the way we think about water conservation and management. The core principles of his initiative are:

Rainwater Harvesting and Conservation: One of the primary strategies promoted by Rathore is the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems across homes and communities. This technique, which captures and stores rainwater for future use, can significantly reduce dependence on external water sources. Encouraging rainwater harvesting in both urban and rural areas is an affordable and effective solution to tackle water shortages.

Revitalizing Traditional Water Bodies: India has a rich history of traditional water management systems such as stepwells, ponds, and tanks. Rathore’s initiative involves reviving these age-old methods to enhance local water retention capabilities. Restoring and maintaining these natural water bodies can not only ensure a sustainable water supply but also help restore ecological balance in rural and semi-urban areas.

Technological Solutions for Water Distribution: Recognizing the importance of technology, Rathore advocates for the use of smart water management systems, which can optimize water distribution and reduce wastage. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, data analytics, and automated irrigation systems are being implemented in various regions to monitor and manage water usage efficiently. With digital tools, it’s possible to track water flow, detect leaks, and predict future water demand.

Public Awareness and Education: Rathore’s initiative emphasizes the importance of education and awareness campaigns. By teaching communities about water conservation techniques, efficient usage practices, and the importance of protecting water bodies, Rathore aims to foster a culture of responsibility toward this precious resource. Public engagement through workshops, media campaigns, and community-driven projects are integral to ensuring that water management becomes a collective goal.

Policy Advocacy and Government Support: Rathore is also advocating for stronger government policies to ensure equitable access to water for all. His efforts have led to collaborations with policymakers, local authorities, and private organizations to create frameworks that enable large-scale implementation of water security projects. These policies encourage both government and private sector investment in water infrastructure and conservation efforts.

Realizing the Dream: Achievements and Impact

Under Rajvardhan Rathore’s leadership, several states in India have already started seeing improvements in their water management systems. From the revival of ancient water harvesting systems in Rajasthan to the implementation of smart irrigation technologies in Punjab, Rathore’s vision is being brought to life in various parts of the country.

His work has also influenced the development of the “Jal Jeevan Mission,” a government initiative aimed at providing safe and adequate drinking water to every rural household in India by 2024. By aligning his initiatives with national water goals, Rathore is playing a key role in shaping policies that work toward long-term solutions.

Overcoming Challenges

Despite the momentum generated by Rathore’s efforts, significant challenges remain in achieving water security for all. These include inadequate infrastructure in many rural areas, lack of political will in some states, and the resistance to change among certain sections of the population. Moreover, the impacts of climate change, such as erratic rainfall patterns and rising temperatures, present additional obstacles.

However, Rathore’s approach emphasizes the importance of resilience. He believes that by building sustainable systems, educating communities, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, these challenges can be overcome. His focus on local solutions, paired with national efforts, is gradually paving the way for a water-secure future.

The Road Ahead

The vision of “Water for Every Home” is one that resonates deeply with the people of India, especially in rural regions where access to clean water is still a challenge. Rajvardhan Rathore’s unwavering commitment to solving this issue, combined with his leadership and collaborative approach, is turning this vision into a reality.

As India continues to face the pressures of population growth, urbanization, and climate change, initiatives like Rathore’s are crucial in ensuring that future generations inherit a world where water is abundant, clean, and accessible for everyone. The work being done today sets the foundation for a more sustainable and equitable future, where every home has the water it needs to thrive.

Rajvardhan Rathore’s efforts are proof that with dedication, innovation, and collaboration, even the most daunting challenges can be tackled — one drop at a time.

Children at the Mercy of Rising Climate Crisis

Over the past half a decade, climatic upheavals have led to an alarming 43 million children being displaced from their homes. This distressing statistic amounts to about 20,000 child relocations daily, based on the latest findings from Unicef and the IDMC.

The Elements and the Innocents

From 2016 to 2021, the main perpetrators of this crisis were floods and storms, responsible for a massive 95% of these displacements. Wildfires and droughts contributed to the remaining displacement, affecting over 2 million young lives. Such events often deprive these children of education, health benefits, and social connections.

Catherine Russell, at the helm of Unicef, emphasized the profound emotional scars such events leave on young minds.

Asia’s Vulnerable Triad

China, India, and the Philippines emerged as the most affected nations, accounting for over 22 million child displacements. Their inherent vulnerability to severe climatic events like cyclones and heavy rainfall, combined with vast youth populations, explains the figures.

Island Nations: Facing Nature’s Wrath

While populous nations record higher absolute numbers, it’s the smaller island nations that suffer proportionally greater. Take Dominica, for example, which saw a significant 76% of its youth displaced following the devastating Hurricane Maria in 2017. Likewise, nations like Cuba, Vanuatu, and the Northern Mariana Islands faced similar displacement challenges due to storms.

Reality: Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Even with these alarming numbers, the actual scenario may be far worse. Many displacements due to gradual climate impacts, especially droughts, go unrecorded. Verena Knaus from Unicef points out that current statistics might only scratch the surface.

Battles with Wildfires and Droughts

The Uncertain Road Ahead

As the planet continues to warm, the frequency and severity of climate disasters threaten to rise. Current projections indicate that river floods might uproot close to 96 million children in the coming three decades. This serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for global climate action.

An Urgent Plea for Action

Adeline Neau, an expert from Amnesty International, encapsulated the situation aptly, stressing the urgent need for policy overhaul in the face of climatic challenges. She states, «Our present choices will shape the future world our next generation steps into.»

Predicting the world in 50 years involves considering various aspects of technological, environmental, social, and geopolitical changes. Here are some key points based on current trends and expert analyses:

Technology: Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and automation are expected to transform daily life. AI might replace humans in many routine tasks, potentially leading to a significant shift in job markets. Autonomous vehicles, including flying taxis and underwater transport systems, could become common, reducing travel times and transforming urban mobility. Biotechnology might bring personalized medicine, genetic editing for disease prevention, and enhancements in human capabilities. The integration of technology into our bodies, like ingestible sensors or brain-machine interfaces, could also become more prevalent, enhancing human abilities or monitoring health in real-time.







Environment: Climate change will likely have a profound impact unless significant actions are taken now. Sea levels might rise, leading to the submersion of coastal cities and islands. If current trends continue without change, we could see increased deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and more severe weather patterns. However, if sustainability measures are aggressively pursued, we might see a shift towards sustainable energy sources like solar, wind, and small modular reactors (SMRs), leading to a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape.







Population and Urbanization: The global population is expected to grow, reaching around 9.8 billion by 2050, with significant growth in regions like Africa. Urbanization will increase, with projections suggesting about 75% of the world's population living in cities. This could lead to vertical cities with skywalks and multi-level roads to accommodate the space crunch. The quality of urban living might improve with smart city technologies that manage traffic, energy, and waste more efficiently.





Social and Political Structures: There might be a shift in global economic power, with countries like China and India potentially leading, alongside the rise of new economic powers like Nigeria and Indonesia. Socially, there could be a move towards more inclusive leadership, with greater diversity in gender and cultural representation. The concept of global governance might evolve with power distributed among various entities like cities, corporations, and international bodies, reflecting a more patchwork approach to global leadership.



Challenges: Despite technological advancements, challenges like privacy concerns due to pervasive technology, ethical issues with AI and biotech, and the equitable distribution of wealth in a highly automated society will need addressing. Climate change mitigation will be crucial, requiring international cooperation on an unprecedented scale.



Optimistic vs. Pessimistic Views: Some envision a utopian future with technology solving many of humanity's problems, from disease to energy scarcity. Others foresee dystopian scenarios where automation leads to massive unemployment, privacy invasion becomes rampant, and environmental degradation continues unchecked. The reality will likely lie somewhere in between, with outcomes heavily dependent on current decisions regarding technology, environmental policies, and social structures.





In summary, the world in 50 years could be a place of advanced technology integration, significant environmental shifts, and evolving social structures. However, the exact nature of this future hinges on the choices we make today regarding sustainability, technology governance, and global cooperation.

4. Low-Cost Ideas – Ideas that still work yet are affordable to implement.

Pune interior designers plan with their clients, architects, and contractors to create projects meeting high-quality standards within the stipulated time.

How to Hire the Right Interior Design Pune Firm

In searching for a firm that will offer Interior Design Pune, the first of which would be to determine the firm's portfolio, the previous clients of the firm, and the tasks comparable to yours that they have previously finished. Look for companies that:

1. Are highly creditworthy in the marketplace.

2. They practice using innovative techniques and useful tools.

4. Give transparent, understandable prices and learn project structure.

With the right team by your side, your vision will grow into reality – your dream space will soon come true.

Advantages of Hiring Interior Designers in Pune

Working with an Interior Designer Pune brings several advantages:

1. Professional Advice – Consulting on the type of colours to use, types of furniture to use and types of décor to use.

2. Painless Procedure – They take full responsibility for the project planning and implementation.

3. Aesthetics Improvements – An expertly landscaped space exponentially adds value to a property.

If the interior is going to be worked on, or a new business will be built from the ground up, it is always wise to find a professional.

Meduza: BRICS

The leaders of Brazil, China, India, and South Africa met in Johannesburg for the opening of the 15th annual BRICS summit on Tuesday, but Vladimir Putin stayed home. In his place, he sent Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who, unlike Putin himself, is not the target of an ICC arrest warrant. Last month, the Russian president told reporters that his being in Russia is simply “more important” than his attendance at the summit.

In reality, the future of the BRICS bloc, whose collective share of the world economy is now larger than that of the G7 countries by some measures, is vitally important to the Putin administration as it seeks to overcome the West’s isolation campaign. In an essay published on the eve of the event, the Russian Foreign Ministry heralded the birth of a “fairer, multipolar world order” that will preclude “Cold War logic” and “zero-sum geopolitical games.” 

Putin did send along a message to his fellow leaders (and to the attendees from dozens of countries that have expressed interest in joining BRICS). In a prerecorded speech, the president blamed the West for global food supply issues, outlined Moscow’s plans to address climate change, and generally assured the Global South that Russia gets them. But while he did his best to project strength, an apparent technical error that made his voice sound like Darth Vader made it difficult to forget how many doors are now closed to him.

[ad_1] The 16th GRIHA Summit, organized by the GRIHA Council, concluded with a strong emphasis on ‘Accelerating climate action and fostering resilience in the built environment’. Over two days, the Summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and community representatives to explore strategies for sustainable infrastructure development.   Launch of GRIHA Infrastructure Rating for Highways at the 16th GRIHA Summit   Dr Vibha Dhawan, President of the GRIHA Council and Director General of TERI, highlighted the event’s overarching vision in her address. “Challenges will always arise, but what truly matters is how we face them and create a lasting change. Perfection may never be reached, but the chance to go green is here, and it's up to us to seize it,” she said.   Delivering the valedictory address, Smt Meenakashi Lekhi, Former Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture, and Member of Parliament, called for unified efforts to achieve climate resilience. “Let’s not let others dictate our agenda. It’s time to run our own green agenda, rooted in our heritage and guided by GRIHA standards. GRIHA symbolizes India’s commitment to sustainability and green living. With the concepts of reusing and recycling, we have to get our existing buildings compatible with the standards provided by GRIHA,” she said.   The valedictory session opened with remarks by Mr Sanjay Seth, Vice President and CEO, GRIHA Council, who underscored the critical need for innovation and collaboration. “The conversations we’ve had, the ideas we’ve shared, and the solutions we’ve proposed over these past two days will play a crucial role in transforming our built environment. It is our collective responsibility to leverage our expertise and passion to drive positive change. As we reflect on our journey, we also celebrate the exceptional achievements that are setting new standards for sustainable excellence,” he stated.   A significant highlight of the session was the launch of two new sustainability frameworks: the GRIHA Rating for Ports and the GRIHA Infrastructure Rating for Highways, designed to promote environmentally responsible practices in these critical sectors. Both ratings aim to advance sustainability by providing standardized frameworks for assessing and enhancing infrastructure performance.   Mr Aditya Bhutani, Director and COO of AIS GlassXperts, emphasised the role of partnerships in advancing sustainability. “Net zero isn't just an opportunity; it's the reality we must achieve. Change doesn't require grand gestures; small acts, multiplied by millions, can transform the world,” he remarked.   During the valedictory session, GRIHA award ceremony was also held wherein the GRIHA 3-star and 2-star Rated Projects were felicitated by the eminent dignitaries. Winners of GRIHA Exemplary Awards and GRIHA Exhibition Design Competition were also awarded.   As part of the Summit, a side event titled “Scaling Up Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Technologies in Buildings in India” was organised in collaboration with GIZ India, Ornate Solar, and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). The session focused on addressing critical challenges such as balancing aesthetics with efficiency, assessing the lifecycle impacts of BIPV materials, and evaluating the economic feasibility of large-scale applications.   With four plenary sessions and six thematic tracks, the Summit addressed pressing issues towards accelerating climate action at various levels including policy advocacy, united stakeholder action, energy transition and promoting smart & resilient infrastructure development. This year's key deliberations revolved around managing urban heat, exploring biophilic designs & innovative construction materials, incentivising for propelling a low-carbon development, the role of communities and transformation of existing infrastructure.   The event concluded with closing remarks

by Ms Shabnam Bassi, Deputy CEO and Secretary, GRIHA Council, reaffirming the commitment to advancing sustainability through collaboration and innovation.   The 16th GRIHA Summit witnessed participation from government and industry leaders, policymakers, architects, urban planners, product manufacturers, researchers, financial institutes, and civil society. GRIHA Council expresses gratitude to its partners, esteemed partners, including the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, State Governments of Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, and Rajasthan, as well as industry leaders such as Knauf, Asahi Glass, ARS Steel and Alloy International Pvt. Ltd, Union Bank of India and many more.   About GRIHA Council GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) is jointly established by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India and TERI in 2007. It holistically evaluates the environmental performance of buildings over its entire life cycle based on qualitative and quantitative criteria, thereby providing a definitive standard for ‘green buildings’ and habitats. GRIHA has been developed for various building typologies considering the Indian climate and construction practices. India, in its NDC document submitted at COP 21 in Paris has highlighted GRIHA as an indigenous green building rating system developed in India. GRIHA is a part of the mitigation strategy for combating climate change in India’s “Nationally Determined Contributions” submitted to UNFCCC by the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MOEFCC), Government of India. GRIHA has received accolades in spheres such as energy efficiency, site planning, conservation, and efficient utilization of resources.   About TERI The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in India, is an independent, multi-dimensional research organization with capabilities in policy research, technology development, and implementation.
