This film explores how Ahmedabad is fighting extreme heat with an innovative solution — parametric heat insurance. In a year when Gujarat cities like Rajkot crossed 46°C, outdoor workers faced dangerous conditions and lost livelihoods.
Through voices from the ground, experts from CEEW, and Mahila Housing Trust’s grassroots work, it shows how a small premium can trigger automatic payouts when temperatures cross dangerous thresholds — offering financial relief to women vendors, labourers, and daily earners. A story of climate resilience, livelihood security, and community-led adaptation in one of India’s hottest cities.
