Global carbon tracking faces increasing methodological uncertainty as China’s revised emissions accounting suggests that the rise in national emissions between 2020 and 2025 may be overstated by as much as 700 million tonnes of CO₂, according to analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.

Adani Green Energy Limited has commissioned 3.37 GWh of battery energy storage capacity at Khavda, Gujarat, positioning the site among the world’s largest single location battery storage deployments outside China.

India’s Central Electricity Authority has set a target of 27 GW of pumped storage capacity by 2031-32, part of a…

The latest ASEAN-European Union workshop in Brunei Darussalam signals a broader geopolitical and economic shift: carbon markets are no longer being treated solely as climate instruments, but increasingly as industrial policy and investment mechanisms tied to trade competitiveness, energy transition financing, and regional economic integration.

India’s push to expand nuclear generation through private sector participation is beginning to move from policy signaling toward early project development, with Tata Power confirming it is preparing detailed plans for small modular reactor deployment in collaboration with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited.

Global mean sea level has risen by 9.4 centimeters since 2000, with satellite data showing an average annual increase of 3.64 millimeters since 1999, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. The rate is not static.
