** Jammu-** Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday called on citizens and the scientific community to reaffirm their commitment to tackling climate change, stressing that protecting the environment is a shared responsibility.

Speaking at the third Aerosol Winter School on“Atmospheric Aerosol, Cloud and Climate Science” at the Central University of Jammu, Sinha said the Union Territory must work collectively to adopt sustainable practices and build resilience against emerging climate threats.

He said one of the biggest challenges for scientists today is the accurate prediction of cloudbursts with precise and long term forecasts.“All stakeholders must work together in developing new machine learning models and refining real time data integration to provide timely and clear alerts to authorities and the public,” he said.

The Lieutenant Governor urged scientists and AI experts to collaborate for a cleaner and healthier future.“Let us dedicate ourselves to tackling climate challenges, advancing clean energy, and strengthening environmental resilience,” he said.

He said the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to supporting scientific collaboration, high quality research, and transformative projects in areas such as solar energy, water security, rural connectivity and pollution abatement.
