Rename this article to "Climate change in India"?

I suggest to rename this article to "Climate change in India" and then to build it up like the other Climate change in country X articles. We can move some content from Climate change in South Asia as well. If the greenhouse gas section ever gets too big, then we can still split it off into a separate sub-article. What do you think, User:Chidgk1? EMsmile (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly India is big enough for a "Climate change in India" article. I am not likely to do much on any of those - so your call Chidgk1 (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll go ahead with the renaming then. Are you planning to do more work on the suite of "Greenhouse gas emissions by country X", Chidgk1? I think it's initially better to have just just "climate change in country X" articles, and only when the greenhouse gas emissions part gets too detailed, to split that off into a sub-article. EMsmile (talk) 23:51, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Only Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey Chidgk1 (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EMsmile: I've moved this as you requested, can you clean it up to match the new title? Hut 8.5 20:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Hut 8.5. Done. EMsmile (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding climate content to the India article

It looks like I just got approval from someone deeply involved in the India article (an FA article) to add some sentences about climate change. This is a real break-through (there was opposition at first for this article and also e.g. for Bangladesh and Australia). If we get some good content into the India article then this could set a precedence for other “big” country articles to also include climate change content... so please help me get it right and take a look at the India talk page here. I plan to propose to take some content and references from this article (Climate change in India) to make it easier and less time consuming.EMsmile (talk) 13:47, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

rewriting of ==Adaption==, and provide citation(s) relating to the last paragraph of ==Activism==

The section of ==Adaption== got me confused, can anybody help rewrite? I couldn't find any citations relating to the Dandakaranya-The Green Movement and the late Shri. Bhausaheb Thorat, that made me hesitant to translate the portion into traditional Chinese. Thank you for your kind attention. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time at the moment to look into this. Perhaps User:Chidgk1 has time (he's done a bit of work on this article in the past). Or otherwise you might have to somehow dig deeper yourself, or don't translate it yet. I would only translate the higher pageview articles in the climate change group if I was you. EMsmile (talk) 10:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree you are right not to translate dubious stuff. Have tagged needs cite. Suggest you check back in a few weeks and if nobody has cited then delete the paragraph Chidgk1 (talk) 08:26, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can anybody elaborate the sentence "Another study has found.....risk-responsibility discourse."

So that the readers might not have to guess or speculate. Thank you for your kind attention. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 14:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a native speaker I agree that is hard to understand. Have tagged. As source is 2010 suggest you delete in a few weeks if nobody has clarified or updated as media and public opinion may be different now to 2010 Chidgk1 (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding about Bharatiya model of development

Hello to all.

I propose to add to the article, to the section about mitigation, the next text:

"India promotes the Bharatiya model of development considered different from western models. The Economic Survey for the year 2024, noted that often solutions to address climate change “are fuelled by a market society, which seeks to substitute the means to achieve overconsumption rather than addressing overconsumption itself”. The report argued that India needs a different approach and a “Bharatiya Model of Development”, linked to the principles of sustainability and to the Indian philosophy, can help."

Even if the government do not do exactly what it is declaring the declaration itself is important. Alexander Sauda/אלכסנדר סעודה (talk) 12:34, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is being discussed at Talk:India#Adding about Bharatiya Model of Development. Please keep the discussion at one place. RegentsPark (comment) 14:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
