Studies following the Paris Agreement of 1.5℃ limit of global warming, suggest that South Asia has the most influx of global warming. Emission levels are very high in these developing nations.

Most Urban homes in South Asia are built out of cement which is a major heat absorbent. To pose a solution to this, a non-profit organization is working extensively to adopt sustainable cooling methods in urban and semi-urban areas. Mahila Housing Trust is based in Ahmedabad and works across 10 cities in India to boost communities’ resistance to heat stress. It educates women on how to cool their homes in easily implemented and affordable ways. Till now, more than 1,600 women have gained awareness of climate change and how to deal with some of its effects.
