Nearly Half of Climate-Vulnerable Countries Outpace US in Solar Adoption: Report
A new report by global energy think tank, Ember found that nearly half of the countries in the Climate Vulnerable Forum and V20 Finance Ministers (CVF-V20), a group of 74 climate-vulnerable nations across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Pacific, representing 1.7 billion people, have already surpassed the United States in solar penetration.
India Elevates Its Climate Ambition In A World Mired in Conflicts
Timing, in climate diplomacy, is everything. India released the third instalment of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) this week as the West Asia crisis continues to intensify and energy markets convulsed.

Beyond Capacity: Unlocking the Full Potential of India’s Clean Energy
As geopolitical tensions rise in West Asia, India finds itself in a paradox — record renewable capacity on one hand, and wasted solar power on the other. To get a clearer picture of India’s energy vulnerability, it is important to not just look at how much oil and gas it imports, but how efficiently it uses the clean power it already produces. Even as India raises its climate ambition under its newly released Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0 — with higher clean energy and emissions reduction targets — the challenge is no longer just building capacity, but using it effectively.
India’s CO2 Emission in 2025 Grew at Slowest Rate in Two Decades: Study
A new analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) for Carbon Brief found that India’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in 2025 grew by 0.7%, the slowest rate in the last two decades. This is a sharp slowdown from the growth of 4-11% in the preceding four years and the lowest rate of increase since 2001, excluding the impact of COVID in 2020.
China Secures Global Green Energy Dominance with $120 Billion Investment
A new report found that China has committed more than US$120bn in outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) into resource mining and processing since 2023. This massive investment has been spread over a wide spectrum of critical minerals such as lithium, rare earths, nickel, copper, high-grade iron ore, bauxite, precious metals and other materials — critical inputs for emerging technologies like batteries, solar, wind, EVs and industrial decarbonisation.
EVs Offsets Oil Consumption Equivalent to 70% of Iran’s Export in 2025: Report
A new analysis by Ember found that the electric vehicle fleet prevented the oil consumption of 1.7 million barrels per day of oil globally in 2025, which is equivalent to 70% or 2.4 million barrels exported by Iran through the Strait of Hormuz.
From Baby Steps to Bold Leaps: India’s Next Green Frontier is Manufacturing
For more than two decades, renewable energy project developers have led India’s march to green energy growth. The independent power producers (IPPs) have helped grow the sector in gigawatts and have also shaped the country’s policies while doing that. But as India steers in the direction of self-sustained energy security, the green energy manufacturers have taken over to draft the next chapter of India’s energy future. From conglomerates expanding into solar equipment manufacturing to new age tech startups launching innovations in green fuel, energy storage and public sector giants reorienting their investment plans - all are riding on the green manufacturing boat. Indian states are also luring investors to set up green manufacturing plants.
India’s Energy Transition Advancing Across States, but Progress Remains Uneven: Report
A new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis and Ember revealed that India's transition towards clean energy is advancing unevenly across states, with different regions making progress at different parts of the transition.
Clean Energy Grows Almost 5 TW Led by Developing Economies: Report
A new report found that the global pipeline of wind and utility-scale solar energy grew to a record 4.9TW in 2025. This analysis by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) said that this growth was led by the emerging economies, a significant step towards tripling the renewable energy capacity, and the wealthiest nations are no longer driving the clean energy buildout.
Clean Energy Growth Cuts India’s Coal Power Generation by 3% in 2025: Report
A new report found that India’s coal-fired power generation declined by nearly 3% in 2025, marking only the second full-year drop in at least 50 years. The report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air..
