Dear readers,
The new report by the IPCC proves that climate justice must be at the centre of global policymaking. But our shift is in the opposite direction as we look to invest in fossil fuels even more in the name of energy security.
India used more coal power in 2021 than 2020, which could delay its climate goals, according to the International Energy Agency. It also used only 2% of COVID-19 stimulus funds on green projects, while spending more on coal subsidies.
On International Women’s Day, Down to Earth looked at how women lead climate adaptation in eastern India’s Adivasi areas.
Elsewhere, the 75% of the Amazon rainforest is near its tipping point and may transform into a dry savanna. We also learn about why polar bears are migrating from Alaska to Russia.
