Global Elections Aur Mausam Ka Fasaad
Sach toh yeh hai ki duniya bhar mein elections mushkil mein pad gayi hain. Ek new report, International IDEA ki, bata rahi hai ki pichhle 20 saal mein 52 countries mein 94 elections ko extreme weather ne seriously disrupt kiya hai. Aur India mein toh situation aur bhi kharab ho rahi hai, yahan ki heatwaves voting process ke liye ek bada challenge ban gayi hain.
India Mein Garmi Se Voting Ka Rona
CSE ka data bhi yeh dikha raha hai ki 2022 mein toh lagbhag har din koi na koi extreme weather event ho raha tha. Aur January se November 2025 tak ka period toh char saal mein sabse zyada pareshan karne wala raha hai, matlab yeh crisis badh rahi hai. Ab India ki baat karein toh 2024 Lok Sabha elections mein toh kai jagahon par 45 degrees Celsius se upar temperatures the. Itni garmi padti hai ki poochho mat! Ek report ke mutabik, sirf ek din voting mein 33 polling officials ki garmi se death bhi ho gayi. Yaad hai 2019 mein Odisha mein ek constituency mein garmi ki wajah se voting postpone karni padi thi? Election Commission ne paani, shade, medical kits sab diya hai, par sab jagah planning ek jaisi nahi hai.
Duniya Bhar Ke Stats Kya Kehte Hain?
World level pe bhi yehi haal hai. 2006 se ab tak 26 elections ko natural disasters ne delay kiya hai. Sirf 2024 mein 18 countries ki 23 elections ko tropical storms, floods, heatwaves, wildfires, volcanic eruptions ne affect kiya. Sabse zyada 67% disruptions achanak hone wale storms aur floods se hote hain. Heatwaves ka contribution 9% hai, aur earthquakes/wildfires ka 7%.
Elections Ko Climate Resilient Kaise Banayein?
International IDEA keh raha hai ki ab elections ko safe, healthy aur climate resilient banana padega. Iske liye election bodies ko weather, environment aur disaster agencies ke saath milkar kaam karna hoga, warning systems use karne honge. Electoral systems ko national climate adaptation plans mein officially include karna chahiye taaki long-term resilience ban sake. Secretary-General Kevin Casas-Zamora ne kaha hai ki yeh door ki baat nahi, yeh abhi ki reality hai jisse democratic institutions ko deal karna padega.
