Climate Trends

The big question in front us is: how do we reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels while keeping energy affordable? See below to find out!

The LPG cylinder in our kitchen travels through global energy routes before reaching home - it’s part of a much bigger global energy story. #LPG #Energy #Security #Global #Kitchen

A new Climate Trends analysis found that Delhi was the most #polluted city in 2024-25, while Patna came second. Even historically less polluted cities like Bengaluru and Chennai showed signs of #air #quality deterioration during winter months. Read more! livemint.com/science/health…

The Strait of #Hormuz crisis is testing India's energy security, supply chains, and economic resilience. Join our expert roundtable with @mannat_jaspal, @Nikit_Abhyankar, @TandonSuranjali, and @archchaudhary. 📅 17 March | 9:30 AM IST 🔗 Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Every day, fuel used in Indian kitchens travels thousands of kilometres before reaching our homes. Most of us never notice it. The #LPG crunch is a symptom. The diagnosis is deeper, and so is the #cleanenergy opportunity. #hormuz #energy Read more: open.substack.com/pub/climatectr…

India’s railway electrification offers a powerful example of how electrification and renewable energy can shield critical infrastructure from these shocks. (2/2)

Energy disruptions are becoming a recurring feature of geopolitics. From coal trade disputes to war-driven fuel shortages and now disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, global fossil fuel supply chains are increasingly volatile. (1/2) #wars #conflict #cleanenergy #railways

Key Takeaway: Resilience depends not only on policy intent but on standardised, interoperable, hyper-local and disaggregated data that can power #earlywarnings, shape #urbandesign, protect #publichealth and enable targeted social protection. #ExtremeHeat #ClimateData #MCW2026

#ExtremeHeat is no longer a seasonal issue; it’s a structural development risk. Are our data systems fit to respond? H T Parekh Foundation, @CEEWIndia & @CSTEP_India convened a session on Data for Heat Resilience: What We Have, Lack & Need" at #MumbaiClimateWeek. Insights:

Climate Trends, in collaboration with the Just Transition Research Centre @Jtrc_iitkanpur (IIT Kanpur) and @earthjournalism Network, are excited to announce the 3rd cohort of the #Just #Transition #Fellowships! ➡️Applications close: 20 March 2026 ➡️Apply Now using the QR code!

Despite India's push to accelerate the rollout of rooftop solar power, key obstacles persist in reaching the envisioned targets - including loan delays and limited support from state utilities. Read the full story here: reuters.com/sustainability… @Reuters @GopikaGopa @shreya_jai

India's focus on #solar #cell capacity takes strides with new and upcoming investments, in an effort to reduce reliance on Chinese supplies and develop an indigenous solar #supply chain. Read the full report here: livemint.com/industry/energ… @riturajbaruah1 @livemint @shreya_jai

@ADevvrat @SunetraA_Pawar @Pankajamunde @mybmc @Mumbai_Climate Language is infrastructure for climate action! Climate Trends developed the Climate Change Lexicon in Marathi — a pioneering initiative that translates complex climate terminology into a shared, locally relevant vocabulary. #Lanuage #Marathi #Climate

The Climate Change Lexicon in Marathi was launched by Shri. Acharya Devvrat @ADevvrat, Governor of Maharashtra; Smt. Sunetra Pawar @SunetraA_Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister; and Smt. Pankaja Munde @Pankajamunde, Minister for Environment & Climate Change. @mybmc | @Mumbai_Climate

At the Tamil Nadu Climate Summit 4.0, we launched the Climate Change Perception Study, Chennai 2026, an assessment of how residents understand and experience climate impacts in their daily lives. To read more, please access the study here: climatetrends.in/publication/cl…

@Mumbai_Climate Energy, MSME, textile, finance, insurance, and sustainable investment leaders highlighted urgent gaps in heat data, risk modelling, workplace standards, and capital allocation — calling for localised and sector-specific solutions. @Mumbai_Climate @projectmumbai1 @WTCMumbaiIndia

Urban #heat is one of India’s most significant but under-addressed economic and public health risks. At the Urban Heat in India: Economic and Public Health Impacts roundtable, sector leaders warned that rising temperatures could reduce India’s GDP by up to 2.5%. @Mumbai_Climate

A new analysis from @GlobalEnergyMon shows that the global pipeline of #wind and utility-scale #solar projects expanded to 4.9 terawatts in 2025. However, growth is increasingly concentrated in emerging economies. Check out quick takeaways from the report. #OneMinuteClimate

TODAY in Mumbai! As a Supporting Partner of @Mumbai_Climate, Climate Trends is convening a high-level roundtable on the impact of #urban #heat on India's #economy and #supply chains. Heat affects us all. Join us at this critical, solutions-oriented conversation. #Climate #MCW
