Dedicated to the planet, our Pale Blue Dot, CEEW presents What On Earth!® A cartoon series on sustainability, on how we are treating the planet and how the planet is treating us back. What On Earth!® will appear fortnightly and on special days with a point or a counterpoint to ponder and share.
If kicking the can down the road were a sport, adaptation finance would be winning gold. What On Earth!® takes a cue from women’s cricket in India. "Invest like you mean it!" she says, if we are to lift the Resilience Cup!

This week on What On Earth!©—we tip our hats to those who "know-well." While the world hunts breakthroughs or hands out prizes for discoveries, indigenous wisdom quietly reminds us: some of the best solutions are rooted and locally led. It’s time our local climate champions got their golden moment!

This monsoon, India’s cities are logging out before citizens can log in! With smarter drains, timely early warnings, and resilient urban design, flood risk action plans can keep hospitals accessible, schools open, transport running, and livelihoods secure. Next stop: climate-ready cities. Don’t miss the bus.

A joke falls flat when the setup is wrong—and so does waste management! Waste segregation is the setup we need for cleaner air, fewer landfills, and safer communities. And maybe the roast show we really need is a one where trash takes the mic and has the last laugh.

Stepping out lately feels like a gamble. Will it be too sunny? Will it be stormy? Or both and then some?
While prayers help, it's plans that hit back when the weather throws curveballs at us!
