#PlantingWithAPlan | Planting trees, with the many exponential benefits for health and the environment, needs an evidence-based approach. Urban planting drives often suffer from poor site judgement, polluted or unfavorable soil conditions, selection of non-native species and little to no sapling maintenance. Compiling best practices for monsoon plantation programs, Rama Thoopal, Deepti Talpade and Lubaina Rangwala present five ways to ensure a longer life for these trees: https://bit.ly/46Sd8yg Everyone can play a part in nurturing their city's green cover – whether you're interested in, say, cultivating a kitchen garden on your balcony or planting an urban forest in your neighbourhood. 👇 Mumbai's first ever Citizen's Greening Handbook is a useful guide for anyone seeking to plant with a plan. Released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the handbook offers ideas for planting across three different scales, ranging from a small balcony gardens to neighbourhood site planting. Consistent action is key – so flex your green thumb today and plant the seeds for a greener tomorrow before the monsoon is out.

🏘️ In Buenos Aires, the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once an informal settlement that was vulnerable to climate risks and lacked access to basic services, it’s now a vibrant and resilient community. How did this happen? Trust and collaboration were key. By involving residents in every step of the process, from legalizing land ownership to improving infrastructure, the city turned what could have been a displacement story into one of empowerment and sustainability. Today, Rodrigo Bueno isn't just a place to live — it's proof that when communities take the lead, cities can achieve real, lasting change. 🏚️→🏠 Dig into the full story and see how this Prize for Cities finalist is setting new benchmarks for urban resilience and sustainability: https://bit.ly/4dKLKV1 #PrizeforCities #BuenosAires #UrbanResilience #cities #SustainableCities

Accelerating the adoption of zero-emission road freight requires coordinated policy efforts that cater to diverse stakeholders. ➡Supply-side policies boost e-truck production capacity, foster innovation, and ensure infrastructure readiness. ➡Demand-side policies stimulate market uptake through incentives, subsidies, and awareness initiatives. The timing and phasing of these policies are critical. Strategically planning how policies are introduced and phased out can significantly influence market dynamics and the effectiveness of e-truck initiatives. Understanding the impact on adoption and ease of implementation of each policy is essential for a successful transition to sustainable road freight. #freightfriday #EVMatters #eFreight #eFASTIndia #ZETPolicy #Policy
