Resolve, Resurgence, Results: TERI’s WSDS 2026 Closes with a Blueprint for the Climate Decade

Chandigarh, Mar 02: The final day of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) 2026, organised by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), closed on a powerful note of reflection and renewed commitment, as leaders from government, multilateral institutions, business, and civil society gathered for the Valedictory Session titled, “Reflections, Resurgence, and Resolve for Our Common Future.”

Resolve, Resurgence, Results: TERI’s WSDS 2026 Closes with a Blueprint for the Climate Decade

 Held at the iconic Durbar Hall, the concluding session reinforced WSDS 2026 as a platform that not only convenes global voices but catalyses tangible climate action.

The Valedictory brought together a distinguished line-up of speakers who underscored that the next phase of climate action must be defined by accountability, implementation, and intergenerational leadership.

Mr Tanmay Kumar, Secretary (Environment, Forest and Climate Change), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, shared,

“Climate change is no longer a subject of environmental debate alone. It is a defining challenge of development, governance, security, and human well-being. India’s approach is science-anchored and equity-aware, where we align clean energy with livelihood security, embed resilience in rural and urban schemes, and ensure those responsible for emissions are the ones who must change. While the developed world industrialized through high emissions and cleaned up later, India is attempting something far more complex to grow, eradicate poverty, urbanize, industrialize, and decarbonize simultaneously. We refuse to solve yesterday’s poverty by creating tomorrow’s ecological crisis. Our journey with per capita emissions at just ~2 tonnes per year (far below global averages) proves that clean energy is not charity. It is competitiveness driven by economics. We have achieved our 2030 target of 50% non-fossil installed power capacity in June 2025, five years ahead of schedule, with the share now exceeding 51%. We believe the future is not inherited by accident but is secured by intention. Together, with humility, science, and justice, we will secure it.”

Ms Dia Mirza, Goodwill Ambassador, United Nations Environment Programme, said,

“Climate change is not gender neutral. Women and girls experience its impacts most acutely, even as they grow much of the world’s food and sustain families and communities. Yet they remain underrepresented in climate and energy decision-making. Sustainability today is no longer a choice but the foundation of survival, dignity, and peace. Engaging with nature is not a luxury but a necessity for every individual.”

Ms Isabelle Tschan, Deputy Resident Representative, United Nations Development Programme, shared,

“With nearly 65% of India’s population under the age of 35, youth participation and leadership are central to shaping how sustainability is practised across communities and institutions. In this spirit, UNDP is partnering with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and TERI to launch the Mission LiFE Youth Ambassadors programme”.

Ms Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-Founder & Chairperson, Sustainability, ReNew, observed,

“Development and climate are no longer parallel agendas; they are the same agenda. Clean energy is not a nice-to-do; it is an economic imperative. The global South is no longer asking for permission; it is offering solutions. What we commit to matters, but what we do collectively, and between summits, matters even more. This Summit is not a moment; it is a mandate to act.”

Dr Ash Pachauri, Co-Founder and Senior Mentor, POP (Protect Our Planet) Movement,

 “As we come together to mark 25 years of WSDS at the very place where it began, we celebrate not only a remarkable legacy, but a shared responsibility for what lies ahead. This journey has been shaped by vision, wisdom, values, and powerful voices that have built awareness and endurance over the years. Yet, this moment asks a deeper question: what will we do with all that we have learned? Today is not just a celebration of the past; it is the first day of the rest of our lives.”

Ms Prachi Shevgaonkar, Founder, Cool The Globe, shared,

“My journey with the World Sustainable Development Summit began when I was a young student who felt overwhelmed by the scale of climate change and unsure of what one ordinary person could do. I chose to begin with small, practical actions and to make sustainability part of daily life. What started as a personal effort in my dorm room grew into a shared mission, supported by citizens across 150 countries.”

Mr Nitin Desai, Chairman, TERI, said,

“At WSDS, we reaffirm that sustainable development cannot be driven by uniform goals alone. Governments cannot act in isolation; progress requires shared learning among institutions, researchers, businesses, and communities working on the ground. This platform enables the exchange of experiences, builds understanding, and strengthens cooperation.”

Dr Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI, said,

“WSDS is about building pathways of opportunity, not merely responding to crisis. In today’s complex world with shrinking resources, partnerships are essential – we cannot reinvent the wheel. We must adapt existing research to our requirements and move forward collaboratively. The outcome of this summit holds perhaps even greater significance than recent global forums.”

Dr Shailly Kedia, Curator, WSDS; Director, TERI, highlighted,

“This year, we broke all records with 2,381 unique participants, 10 plenaries, 14 thematic tracks, and a defining feature Him-CONNECT which showcased not just voices but solutions from the Himalayas, one of the world’s most vulnerable regions. Over these years, we’ve evolved from broad agenda-setting conversations to sharper, solution-oriented engagement”.

The Valedictory featured a series of significant knowledge and youth-led launches. The 18th edition of Vasundhara“Climate Capital” — the student-led sustainability magazine of TERI School of Advanced Studies, was unveiled, spotlighting fresh youth perspectives on climate, environment, and sustainable development. The Summit also marked the release of the Act4Earth Manifesto, reinforcing collective commitments towards accelerated climate action emanating from the Summit. Adding to the intellectual discourse, The Politics of Sustainable Development authored by Mr Nitin Desai, Chairman, TERI, was formally launched. The WSDS 2026 Summit Report was presented by Dr Shailly Kedia, Curator, WSDS, & Director, TERI, which captured key insights and outcomes from the three-day deliberations.

Running parallel through the day, TerraZone, WSDS’s sustainability expo, showcased transformative initiatives by partners and TERI across clean technology, nature-based solutions, and circular economy models.

Him-CONNECT, curated by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, spotlighted Himalayan innovation and resilience, bringing mountain ecosystems and community-led solutions into the global sustainability discourse.

As WSDS 2026 drew to a close, the message was unequivocal: the climate decade demands convergence — of finance and fairness, innovation and inclusion, ambition and accountability.

With renewed resolve and strengthened partnerships, WSDS once again reaffirmed its role as a global platform advancing transformative climate action for a shared and sustainable future.

US trade deal won’t affect India’s defence ties with Russia, says Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh

 India’s defence engagement with Russia will continue unaffected by the US trade deal, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said, underlining that New Delhi will maintain a diversified procurement strategy while accelerating indigenisation.

“The US trade deal doesn’t impede our defence engagement with Russia,” Singh said at News18 Rising Bharat 2026

He added that India will continue sourcing military equipment based on operational requirements. “We continue to procure from Russians and will continue to do so from the French, Americans — what is required,” he said.

Singh’s remarks signal continuity in India’s multi-aligned defence procurement approach, even as strategic and trade ties with Washington deepen.

At the same time, he stressed that boosting domestic manufacturing remains a priority

We would want to double down on indigenisation,” Singh said, reiterating the government’s focus on strengthening local defence production capacity.

India has in recent years sought to reduce import dependence through domestic manufacturing initiatives, while maintaining defence partnerships with a range of countries, including Russia, France and the United States.

Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar Highlights How Precise Bhramari Pranayama Transforms Brain and Nervous System

Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Author, Columnist, Founder: Akshar Yoga Kendraa, Work: Yoga and spiritual leader

Why Correct Application of Bhramari Pranayama Changes Its Impact on the Brain

Bhramari pranayama is usually related to rest and peace of mind. While this description is accurate, it does not fully explain the profound neurological influence the practice can have when applied correctly. Calmness is not the final result but an apparent consequence of the more profound processes of control that take place in the brain and the nervous system. Its actual difference consists not in the practice, but in its application.

When Bhramari Pranayama is performed with precision–integrating posture, breath rhythm, sound vibration, and hand placement–it influences brain coherence, autonomic balance, and cognitive regulation in measurable and lasting ways. Misuse or incomplete use will reduce the practice to a temporary calming procedure unless proper use will convert it to a way of conscious control of the nervous system.

The Brain as a Rhythmic System.

The human brain works based on the rhythmical electricity. These rhythms–commonly referred to as brain waves–govern perception, emotional response, attention, and decision-making. When neural rhythms become disorganized, the individual experiences anxiety, restlessness, emotional volatility, and mental fatigue. When these rhythms are synchronized and stable, clarity, focus, and emotional steadiness naturally emerge.

The constant rhythmic input is presented by Bhramari Pranayama. The humming sound produced internally is a vibratory signal that is interacting with the existing neural vibrations. As opposed to external sound, which has to be converted, sifted, and translated, internally generated vibration bypasses numerous stages of sensory multifaceted, and has a direct effect on neural timing and coordination.

Internal Sound and Neural Interaction

Vibration of sound created during Bhramari goes through the cranial cavity, sinuses and bones of the face as well as tissues surrounding the head. These vibrations activate auditory processing, interoceptive, and emotional regulation neural pathways. Since the sound is generated inside a body, it is perceived by the brain as an internal stimulus or signal and not as an external stimulus.

This difference is essential. Internal vibration is processed differently by the nervous system. It encourages assimilation and not response. Circuitry that is used in the detection of threats or sensory alertness subside, whereas networks that are used in regulation and coherence get stronger.

The Role of Sensory Withdrawal

Proper use of Bhramari has the position of hands being applied in deliberate manner thus minimizing outside sensory stimulus. Sensory points on the face are stabilized and the ears are closed softly, which means that the brain receives fewer external signals when the ears are closed. This sensory withdrawal allows internal signals–breath rhythm, vibration, and bodily awareness–to take priority.

The neuroscience research on sensory suppression shows that the reduction of the external stimuli maximizes the activity of the brain networks related to self-regulation and introspective awareness. Meanwhile, the background neural noise which is associated with distraction and rumination reduces. This is also done naturally in Bhramari by posture and the position of the hands instead of by means of a concentrated effort.

Breath Rhythm and Autonomic Balance

The major connection between conscious action and autonomic functioning is breath. Bhramari Pranayama involves slow breathing with a long exhalation of humming, which is a decisive factor in the work of the nervous system.

Prolonged exhaled stimulates the vagus nerve which controls the parasympathetic. This transition facilitates a non-dull relaxation. The heart rate variability is enhanced which indicates that the heart and the brain communicate better. Emotional processing centers get more stable and impulsive reactions to stress are decreased.

More to the point, it is not a state of suppression. The nervous system is not being induced to calmness. Rather it is steered towards coherence by rhythmic contribution.

From Relaxation to Calm Alertness.

Calm alertness is one of the greatest results of properly administered Bhramari. This condition contrasts with sedation or mental retardation. The level of awareness is high, with low reactivity. Attention becomes sustained rather than scattered. Emotional responses become measured rather than impulsive.

Cognitive resources are saved in this state. The brain does not spend as much energy in processing inner noise or emotional changes. This allows higher-order functions such as reasoning, creativity, and decision-making to operate more efficiently.

Neural Adaptation Through Consistency.

Nervous system becomes accustomed to repetition. When there is proper and regular practice of Bhramari, the brain will begin to accept the mode of vibratory-breath as a normal existence. Over time, this leads to durable changes in stress response, attention span, and emotional regulation.

The practice adapts the neural behavior of baselines instead of relief, which is short-lived. The reaction to stress is minimized. Healing of emotional disturbance is quicker. Mental clarity becomes easier to access.

Such adaptive process requires regularity and accuracy. Improper or unbalanced practice will result in inconsistent input, which restricts neurological transformation in the long term.

Method Over Effort

Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar stresses that the transformational effects of Bhramari are a result of a method rather than a result of effort. Straining the breath, forcing the sound, or applying excessive pressure disrupts neural harmony. Precision of posture, gentle hand placement, balanced breath, and smooth vibration allow the brain to reorganize itself naturally.

The rationale behind the practice is that it honors the smartness of the nervous system. It is a structured input and the response of biological processes to it is organic.

Relevance in the Modern Cognitive Environment

Modern life is characterized by constant sensory stimulation, information overload, and chronic cognitive demand. Constant internal coherence in the brain is hardly ever experienced. Over time, this leads to fatigue, anxiety, and reduced emotional resilience.

When practiced properly, Bhramari Pranayama provides an effective and scientifically-supported approach to overcome such effects, being non-invasive. It does not involve the use of external resources, medication, or complicated intervention. It relies on breath, sound, and posture to restore neural balance from within.

Conclusion: Precision Determines Outcome

By integrating sound vibration, breath rhythm, sensory withdrawal, and intentional posture, Bhramari reorganizes neural activity toward coherence and stability. In doing so, it offers a pathway to sustained mental clarity, emotional balance, and cognitive resilience in an increasingly overstimulated world.
