The report's optimism stems from the observation that 2023 marked the first year where the continued expansion of building construction was decoupled from the corresponding rise in sector greenhouse gas emissions.
Since 2014, India has improved electricity access, strengthened energy security, and set a foundation for clean energy transition. However, meeting the 2030 goal requires adding 56 GW of non-fossil capacity annually.
Transitioning to sustainable systems requires substantial investment and coordinated effort across sectors. Additionally, achieving these goals hinges on overcoming resistance from vested interests, such as industrial agriculture and fossil fuel industries.
Produced using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro and biomass, Green Hydrogen offers a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
The project reflects a broader commitment from the Indian government to assist Sri Lanka in its development goals. Over the years, India has engaged...
Officials from the ministry emphasized that the government is committed to transitioning to renewable energy sources, with a target of generating 40 per cent...
By 2024, solar power is projected to account for nearly 60 per cent of India's renewable energy capacity, significantly contributing to the national grid...
South Asia’s lead crisis is not inevitable. Experience elsewhere demonstrates that decisive regulation, industrial formalisation and community-level interventions can sharply reduce exposure.
Experts at UNEP say that the Emissions Gap Report 2026 does not abandon the 1.5°C goal. Instead it reframes the challenge: minimise the height and length of the overshoot and chart a credible return path.
