At the High-Level Solutions Dialogue on Early Warning and Extreme Heat, Ambassador George mentioned India's national Heat Action Plans as a key framework to tackle rising temperatures. He pointed to the use of digital tools for last-mile alerts and promotion of low-cost cooling solutions as part of India's domestic response to climate risks.
Speaking at the session alongside representatives from Singapore, Maldives, European Union and Finland, he said India stood ready to work with partners, particularly in the Global South, to strengthen early warning systems, risk reduction and disaster management measures.
