@bronwentucker.bsky.social and @aygoswami.bsky.social on latest draft decision text at #COP30. "What we would need to see for a roadmap [on fossil fuel phaseout] to be useful at all is ... rich countries going first and fastest and real public finance." 🎥 www.youtube.com/shorts/qFUJ1...

🖊️New op-ed: The NDC Death Loop As COP30 approaches, the current cycle of voluntary climate pledges is facing a crisis of relevance; climate governance needs to be reinvented, especially for the Global South @trishant.bsky.social @cseindia.bsky.social

Some important perspectives about the context in which climate action ought to be framed in developing countries. By @aygoswami.bsky.social and @trishant.bsky.social www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-chan...

Optimism and pessimism. The IEA renewables 2025 update is fascinating. It ratchets down both US and China's renewable buildout from the 2024 report. US down more than 40% (!) and China down about 5%.

Climate policy nerds uniting today around the shared struggle: 'But what is the peak date??" If you know, you know etc....

Hyped for the next episode of Carbon Politics - @cseindia.bsky.social’s new video podcast - this time with @70sbachchan.bsky.social @katemac.bsky.social of @thepolycrisis.bsky.social about BRICS and climate action Out here on Sept 28: www.cseindia.org/page/carbon-...

"In the first half of 2025 China’s new additions were more than twice the new capacity installed by the entire rest of the world this year. The #2 on the list, India, installed 24GW. The US at #3 installed 21GW. There is an order of magnitude difference." adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Brazil’s proposal to launch a new climate and trade forum at COP30 is a timely intervention - I outline 5 key dynamics in the climate-trade debate for any new forum to consider. Above all it must be advanced with the buy-in of developing countries www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-chan...

1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

New policy report just published with groundbreaking data showing that China's new global role in the green transition is investing in manufacturing, not financing infrastructure: "China’s Green Leap Outward" www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

🎙️ 33 Years Since Rio: What Have We Learned In the latest Carbon Politics episode by @cseindia.bsky.social, I speak with Sunita Narain and Anumita Roychowdhury about the origins of the UNFCCC, the decades since, and how the Rio moment can guide the Global South through today’s competing crises

My new op-ed: in which I ask, can we forge a Bandung moment for climate? www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-chan...

New op-ed by CSE's @aygoswami.bsky.social emphasizing that Global South solidarity must be fostered to draft a new climate and development agenda, taking cues from historical moments like the Bandung Conference of 1955 www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-chan...

Rebuilding solidarity ‘BRICS by BRICS’: Forging Global South unity for climate and prosperity “..unity is essential to turn this fragile moment into lasting power…In climate talks and beyond, the South must close ranks.” Excellent piece from @aygoswami.bsky.social

Lesotho, “a country no one has heard of” acc’ding to Trump, bracing for US tariffs 50% on its biggest single sector, garments. “The luckier ones, he said, “are just finishing up outstanding orders that were in the pipeline. There are no new orders coming in.”” on.ft.com/4kFlzSX

Who produces the last barrel of oil? @rlalen.bsky.social on @cseindia.bsky.social ‘Carbon Politics’ podcast 🎙️: Fossil fuel phaseout goals agreed on at COP28 set a clear direction but didn’t provide a roadmap + many countries lack enabling conditions to shift to RE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyQt...

Three of the top five solar power countries in 2024 were BRICS countries. In 2024, Brazil overtook Germany to become the fifth largest solar generator. 1. China: 834 TWh ✅ 2. United States: 303 TWh 3. India: 134 TWh ✅ 4. Japan: 100 TWh 5. Brazil: 75 TWh ✅

NEW | BRICS countries now produced more than half of the world's solar power ☀️ Led by China, BRICS countries accounted for 51% of the world's solar generation in 2024. Ten years ago, this stood at 15%.
