Episode Title: India’s Climate Change, Environment & Women: Rethinking Sustainability

Guest: Ms. Vandana Chavan

Host: Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani

Duration: ~27 Minutes

Release Date: 02 March 2026

In this episode of SymbiCare Dialogues, Dr. Jyoti Chandiramani speaks with Vandana Chavan, senior parliamentarian and former Mayor of Pune, on the intersection of climate change, sustainability, and women’s lived realities in India.

The discussion explores India’s climate vulnerability, urban heat stress, air quality concerns, rural distress, and the growing gap between policy design and on-ground implementation. A strong gender lens highlights how climate change disproportionately increases women’s unpaid care burden, health risks, and economic vulnerability.

The episode calls for three critical shifts:

  1. Institutionalizing gender in climate governance
  2. Recognizing and reducing unpaid care work
  3. Strengthening localized climate action

Sustainability is not a slogan — it is a daily practice shaped by governance, community participation, and informed citizen action.
