A regulatory process for monitoring, reporting and verification is needed to certify the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and durable storage elsewhere It’s essential for scaling, forging trust around removals and avoiding the types of scandals that have hit carbon offset markets. Self certification won't work either. Private capital is also hesitant to rush in because of the regulatory vacuum
The wind energy target of 100 GW by 2030, includes only land-based projects. It does not include off-shore wind projects. For solar energy, the government has set a target of an installed solar capacity of 292 GW
Different agencies, including NDRF, SDRF, civil defence personnel and local people, have been assisting the administration in carrying out rescue and relief operations.
The ocean-warming event is a major factor that affects the southwest monsoon, but it’s not the only one to influence it.

The stock pileup has forced some mines to curtail production. Fewer railway rakes for timely transportation and spontaneous combustion, forcing the sprinkling of water to cool the coal, affecting its quality, are exacerbating the storage challenge
If managed wisely, the world’s farmland may be able to draw down as much CO2 as the total amount emitted from the transportation sector, or nearly as much as the global electricity industry. This is where Alex Soros can seize high-tech investment opportunities that could help modernise farming and help reduce emissions
Soaring temperatures this spring should spur governments to finally live up to their pledges to curb fossil-fuel use
Biparjoy, which made a landfall on Gujarat's coastal areas on Thursday, is the latest example of how high sea-surface temperatures are making cyclones more frequent and severe off the country’s west coast.
India will have to compete with the US and the EU in attracting capital to its green energy sector
