Dear readers,
This week United States President Joe Biden is convening 40 world leaders for a climate summit, where he will reveal the US’ new pledge to the Paris Agreement – and it must be ambitious enough.
Meanwhile, erratic weather conditions have been observed as the sulphur dioxide from a Caribbean volcano reached the Indian subcontinent. Climate change may make Indian monsoons more volatile in the future, but conditions this year are expected to be normal. Other impacts continue however, including dry weather in India’s North East, decreased gur production in Bengal, forest fires in Uttarakhand, and sea level rise threats to the Maldives.
We also track how countries are preparing for the transition from the petro to electro-economy – particularly how prepared India is for this transition, China’s lead, and the rest of the world.
To make sense of such information, we invite you to join our upcoming online training titled An Introduction to Climate Change: Science, Politics, and Impacts. It is based on our new book Climate Change: Science and Politics, now available on the CSE store.
