Dear readers,
Temperatures in 2021 have hit record levels leading to extreme weather events like heat waves, drought, sea level rise and flash floods around the world.
On the energy front we take a look at the potential of rooftop solar and storage, solar manufacturing, offshore wind in India, the power crisis in Punjab, and the role of artificial intelligence.
A new study finds only 25 cities are responsible for 52% of global urban GHG emissions. Globally, China has unveiled its long-awaited carbon market, while the European Union released a new package of climate proposals.
To make sense of these trends, join our upcoming online training programme: An Introduction to Climate Change: Science, Politics and Impacts.
CSE’s recently launched book Climate Change: Science and Politics can be bought online from the
CSE store, and the e-book - State of India’s Environment 2021: In Figures is available on the DTE
website. |
