Bihar, India – A one-day workshop titled _“Natural Disasters Caused by Climate Change in South Asia and Collective Remedies”_ was held on 4 May 2026 in Bihar, India.
The event, organized by the *Satyagraha Research Foundation* and *Mother Tahira Charitable Trust* with WPO South Asia and various social organizations, paid tribute to victims of natural disasters in the state.
Speaking at the workshop, *Dr. Ajaz Ahmad (Advocate)*, International Peace Ambassador and Secretary General of the Satyagraha Research Foundation, joined other experts in urging governments to establish *underground disaster clinics with a capacity of 10,000 people in every district* across South Asia, particularly India, to effectively respond to natural calamities.
Other participants included *Dr. Amanul Haque*, Senior Journalist and Co-founder of Mother Tahira Charitable Trust, *Dr. Suresh Kumar Agarwal*, *Dr. Shahnawaz Ali*, *Dr. Amit Kumar Lohia*, Social Activist *Navindu Chaturvedi*, and *Shaheen Parveen*, Coordinator of the West Champaran Art Forum.
The workshop discussed environmental conservation and disaster management. Experts highlighted that human activities are making climate change a primary catalyst for disasters such as floods, droughts, and cyclones. These should no longer be viewed as merely “natural” phenomena but as *human-induced disasters*.
Deliberations focused on mitigation and adaptation strategies, with special emphasis on *sustainable solutions through tree plantation, forest conservation, wetland management, water harvesting, and the participation and awareness of local communities*.
*WPO South Asia supports community-driven disaster resilience as a key component of human security and sustainable peace.*
