Reviving authentic sustainability of indigenous Sri Lankan clay housing
DAILY mockery is indulged in, somewhere upon planet earth at any given point of time, through theoretical rhetoric by political leaders, academics and others on protection and conservation of the environment. Repetitive bombastic statements that are often never followed up in action, are especially amplified on 5 June, the date modern man has designated as his day to wake up to the abyss that he has dumped the environment in (being quite happy to descend back again into his nightmarish developed stupor the morning after).

Underestimated climate threat: Black carbon as a super pollutant
REDUCING greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C or at least well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels is at the heart of the Paris Agreement. However, while carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major cause of global warming and has been a centrepiece of global discussions, there is a group of so-called super pollutants that are often overlooked when it comes to climate action. Not only are these super pollutants responsible for around 45% of global warming to date, but they also present a serious health hazard and are estimated to cause millions of premature deaths every year. Due to their short-lived nature, addressing super pollutants presents an opportunity for rapid impact while also yielding strong co-benefits for public health and clean air.
