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.

New report reveals that Indonesia is falling behind in fulfilling its international energy transition commitments. Nandini Das told the Indonesia Business Post "one of the key problems is that these international commitments are voluntary and non-binding, which ultimately limits their impact”.

While global climate talks, policies and initiatives are progressive on paper, many pledges are voluntary and lack enforcement. "This year’s new round of NDCs is an opportunity for governments to show whether these voluntary pledges will actually drive ambition and action, or be remembered as political and diplomatic posturing,” said Thomas Houlie.
