<h1>Regulatory chief warns climate-driven floods and droughts demand green energy, resilient infrastructure and stricter compliance</h1> A regulatory education authority chair warned that unchecked urbanisation, deforestation and climate inaction are increasing flood and drought incidents, urging engineering and academic communities to prioritize green energy, disaster-resilient infrastructure and sustainable technologies. Legally, this underscores potential regulatory and liability pressures on urban planning, environmental compliance, construction standards and public infrastructure projects, and may prompt stricter statutory norms, mandatory resilience assessments, and enhanced enforcement. The remarks also highlight policy momentum toward domestic technology development and digital infrastructure as governance tools, which could shape procurement, intellectual property and industry-specific regulatory frameworks.
