Last week, Gabon officially launched its revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) 3.0. The process was supported by the NDC Partnership, with technical support from Climate Analytics Africa, and coordination from the National Climate Council.

Ahead of this year's hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia has doubled their efforts to mitigate heat-related risks following last year's lethal heatwave that left 1,301 pilgrims dead when temperatures soared to 51.8°C. "They were caught by surprise because the intensity of the heat was so high that their adaptation measures failed," Fahad Saeed told AFP.

India is currently lagging far behind in adding to its solar and wind energy capacity, threatening the country’s ability to contribute to the UN’s goal of limiting global warming to under 1.5°C. At the current pace of rollout, India will fall short of the needed capacity in 2030 by 140 GW of solar and 70 GW of wind, says Climate Analytics.

“While the International Energy Agency shows no role for fossil gas in the global energy transition, the LNG shipbuilding industry appears to be heading in the opposite direction, which could be to the detriment of everybody involved in the industry,” Thomas Houlie told World Ports Org.

"Today’s climate talks require stronger political will, grounded in scientific credibility, guided by visionary leadership and focused on the future of humanity, not short-sighted economic gains", writes Manjeet Dhakal in an op-ed for The Kathmandu Post.

Dr Fahad Saeed speaks to TRT World about the risks extreme heat pose to human health, and how climate change will make some places uninhabitable by 2050.

“Coral reefs probably won't survive much above 1.5°C of global mean warming”, Bill Hare told CNN.

New study links emissions from particular companies to damages from specific extreme weather events, furthering the field of attribution science. “I think this is going to be the future of climate litigation,” Bill Hare told NewScientist.

As countries come forward with new climate targets this year, our new report reveals how lax rules on land carbon sequestration enable governments to delay the energy transition."Without rules, countries just game the system," Claudio Forner told AFP.

Renewables capacity in Southeast Asia has been falling short of the 16% needed to meet the global renewables target by 2030, according to our recent report.
