Expanding green infrastructure, such as parks, green roofs, and vertical gardens, is a cornerstone of urban heat island mitigation. These elements provide shade and cooling through evapotranspiration, counteracting the heat absorbed by urban surfaces.

Modern biodiversity action plans, including the NBAP 2026 Update, increasingly recognize the vital role of local communities and indigenous peoples. Empowering them in conservation and ensuring equitable benefit-sharing is a key strategy.

The NBAP 2026 Update is expected to strengthen the implementation of international agreements like the Nagoya Protocol, which deals with access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization. The other options are contrary to biodiversity conservation goals.

The NBAP 2026 Update emphasizes integrating biodiversity conservation into all relevant national policies and sectoral plans to ensure sustainable development. Prioritizing invasive species, reducing funding, and promoting commercial exploitation of endangered species are contrary to biodiversity goals.

The Akash-NG missile has an improved operational range, typically cited to be in the range of 40-80 km, making it effective against various aerial threats.
