    Community engagement and education for navigating economic instability and inequality in the face of climate change
    (Elsevier, 2025) Farhina Sardar Khan, Prateek Srivastava, Syed Shahid Mazhar, Ambrina Sardar Khan
    The convergence of economic instability, inequality, and climate change constitutes a pressing concern that requires immediate attention and holistic resolutions. This study investigates the intricate consequences of climate change on economic structures, amplifying preexisting vulnerabilities and expanding disparities, as supported by numerous scientific findings. It investigates the intricate feedback loops intertwining economic instability, inequality, and climate change, which can engender self-reinforcing cycles and heighten associated risks. This work emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to tackle economic instability, inequality, and climate change. The study offers a comprehensive analysis of empirically validated case studies and recognized best practices for stakeholder engagement, collaborative initiatives, and innovative financial mechanisms in effectively tackling these interconnected challenges. These findings are consistent with prior research that emphasizes the necessity of multisectoral cooperation and innovative financing solutions to address the intertwined challenges of economic instability, inequality, and climate change. Policy recommendations advocate for integrating climate and economic policies, empowering local communities, and promoting green jobs and just transition. Additionally, investment in research, data collection, and public awareness is essential to inform evidence-based policies and foster knowledge-sharing. A holistic and collaborative approach by policymakers, businesses, civil society, and individuals will create a path toward a more equitable, stable, and climate-resilient world.

    ADVANCING GOVERNANCE IN INDIA: TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND EFFICIENCY IN POLICY PRACTICE
    (Empyreal Publishing House, 2025) Zia Afroz ; Pratima Shukla
    The concept of good governance gained traction when international organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), etc., recognized its importance as an administration that is responsive to the needs of its citizens. Improvements in the quality of life for residents cannot be achieved through development projects in the absence of strong administration. But weak governance creates and promotes corruption, poverty, etc., therefore it's crucial to enhance governance; doing so is also necessary to improve the lives of the poor, as they will be the ones to bear the consequences of any misuse of state authority. In today's political system, the idea of good governance is crucial. People are undoubtedly more attentive these days and constantly aware of how the government operates on a daily basis. Therefore, the general public must be satisfied by the government, and this is made possible by excellent administration. India's democratic experience over the last 60 years has made it abundantly evident that eradicating poverty and increasing social chances are the goals of effective government. The obstacles of effective administration, as stated by J.L. Nehru in his well-known "tryst with destiny" address on August 14, 1947, include eradicating poverty, illiteracy, sickness, and inequality of opportunity.
