The National Green Tribunal (NGT) of India has taken significant action by directing the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, along with other relevant departments, to develop comprehensive frameworks aimed at enhancing heat resilience and adaptation across the country. This directive comes in light of a report published by the Times of India, which detailed the alarming rise in extreme heat conditions, with temperatures soaring to 48 degrees Celsius in Banda, Uttar Pradesh. The NGT emphasized the necessity for coordinated efforts among various ministries, including the Ministry of Jal Shakti and the Central Pollution Control Board, to implement high-resolution heat monitoring systems. These systems should utilize both satellite and ground data to improve weather forecasting and early warning capabilities. Additionally, the tribunal highlighted the importance of community participation in local climate monitoring and the creation of micro-level heat maps tailored for specific regions. The NGT's proactive stance reflects the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to combat the escalating heat crisis affecting many parts of India, particularly in northwest, central, eastern, and north-peninsular regions.
