Although several options exist to address the troika of climate change, health, and food systems, there are hurdles in developing implementable and sustainable policies.
Global food insecurity is aggravated largely due to climate phenomena. The third brief of this four-part series explores the link between climate change and food security
In the second of a four-part series, we analyse the impact of global warming on human health
The first of this four-part series highlights the signs and science of global warming
Ambition and prioritisation of climate action in national policies coupled with fuelling international cooperation can help India emerge as a global leader
To meet the challenges of growing demand and food insecurity, we need to improve productivity through sustainable agriculture
One should ask, if you cannot have one net-zero event per year, how can one expect whole countries to become net zero?
It is high time we move from words to action by officially institutionalising loss and damage finance in the COP agenda
Despite delay, distract and diffuse tactics, awareness of the climate crisis and the impact it has on many of our other crises—energy, food, violence, war, inflation, extreme weather events—keeps growing
Energy transition alone cannot anchor the green transition; a more holistic approach needs to be adopted, especially in the Global South
The COP27 can serve as a platform for India to rally for climate justice and further its climate agenda during its upcoming G20 presidency
As a voice for the developing world and as the only G20 country that is on track to achieve its climate targets, India is poised to become a global climate leader
A combined push from government, investors, corporations, and entrepreneurs will provide opportunity for R&D climate tech start-ups to scale up their ground breaking technologies and contribute to the low carbon transition
Although the wind energy sector has grown significantly, to meet the target of 140 GW wind energy capacity by 2030, the growth rate in capacity addition has to triple.
Alternate options for replacing petroleum revenue have not received the same level of attention that the promotion of electric mobility has received.
China's export of cheap clean energy equipment is a public good as relatively poor countries can now afford large clean energy projects
Renewable energy and nuclear power generation capacity are projected to increase by leaps and bounds in 2032.
For India to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, coal power must be phased out entirely, and renewable capacity needs to grow.
Nearly half of Indian households still use biomass for cooking. A credible transition to LPG or equivalent cooking fuels will come only when household incomes rise to sustain consumption.
The global energy crisis provides a great opportunity for the developed world to reassess its fossil fuel dependence.
There is a need to move away from climate naivety by adopting a more realistic approach when it comes to climate protection.
