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.

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.

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.

Despite endorsing multiple energy-related pledges, the Philippines remains highly dependent on coal while lagging behind in its deployment of renewable energy.

Report from IRENA finds 92.5% of electricity installed in 2024 came from renewables.If renewables grew 15% in 2024, "think how much faster they could grow with the full backing of comprehensive, credible and ambitious climate policies”, Dr Neil Grant told AP News.

"Renewable methanol will play a key role in the immediate term as a scalable zero-emission fuel," Michael Petroni told European Energy Innovation. Petroni said Europe is likely to be "heavily reliant on China" for building methanol-enabled vessels as its maritime industry sails towards its net-zero goal.
