Watch: The changing economics of survival
As floods ravage Assam and climate-linked disasters surge, India's disaster response is undergoing a fundamental shift—from reactive relief to proactive resilience. In this episode of The Climate Economy, host Kunal Shankar speaks with NDMA advisor Safi Rizvi on how climate science, economics, and policy are converging to create anticipatory, climate-smart disaster planning.

Air India Ahmedabad plane crash: What we saw at the site in Ahmedabad
Watch | Air India Ahmedabad plane crash: What we saw at the site in Ahmedabad On Thursday afternoon, a Boeing 787 aircraft en route from Ahmedabad to London crashed in the BMJ Medical College campus area, just 5 km from the airport. Our reporter brings you live visuals and ground updates from the spot where the tail of the aircraft still lies embedded in a building. The area has suffered extensive damage — this includes the mess where students were gathered during lunchtime and the postgraduate hostel nearby. The crash has resulted in confirmed casualties among both passengers and local residents, including students and possibly bystanders. Rescue and recovery efforts continue. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), forensic teams, and aviation authorities are on the ground. The focus now shifts to retrieving the black box — both the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) — to understand what caused the fatal crash.

Guardians of the skies: India's air defence systems explained
India's skies are protected by one of the most sophisticated multi-layered air defence networks in the world. During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force demonstrated its capability to intercept waves of enemy drones, cruise missiles, and kamikaze UAVs in real time. In this video, we break down India's air defence architecture—from long-range systems like the Russian S-400 and the indigenous Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) shield to the Akash SAM system, Israeli Spyder, and quick-reaction jammers. We also explain the role of IACCS (Integrated Air Command and Control System) and Akashteer in coordinating these assets across sectors. Watch till the end for a clear, simplified breakdown of how India protects its skies against modern aerial threats—and why this network is crucial in the age of drone warfare and hypersonic weapons.

Revisiting Passive Cooling
As Indian cities battle intensifying heatwaves, can we cool our homes and buildings without ramping up electricity use? In this episode of The Climate Economy from The Hindu, host Kunal Shankar explores the science and solutions behind passive cooling—an age-old yet futuristic way to keep spaces comfortable using design, materials, and nature itself. From the Urban Heat Island Effect to innovative architectural solutions like double-skin facades, desiccant cooling, PDRC, and thermal mass materials, we look at how buildings can be part of the climate solution rather than the problem. Featuring global and Indian case studies—from Zimbabwe's termite-inspired EastGate Centre to Delhi's CoolAnt Beehive and Milan's Bosco Verticale—this episode showcases the power of climate-adaptive architecture.
