Climate, ecology and the living world.
The weakest monsoon since 2015 hurts incomes, prices and demand. Water, insurance and procurement decide who bears the loss.
Falling reservoir levels reveal deeper pressures on India’s farms, cities, groundwater, energy security and economic future.
The 9th India International Water Week promoted climate-resilient water management. Official data shows rural taps and river clean-up still falling short of the promise.
Peak electricity demand hit a record 270.82 GW in May 2026. The grid held by day, but evening shortfalls and state-level outages show how thin the margins are.
Most new three-wheelers are now electric, but car buyers leaving petrol are mostly choosing CNG. India's EV shift is really three transitions moving at different speeds.
Delhi has a new "proactive" pollution plan for winter 2026. But last year's numbers show the same old pattern: acting only after the air already turned toxic.
India launched a voluntary Net Zero Portal and climate dashboard on World Ozone Day, raising a real question — does self-reported climate data mean anything?
The African continent is on track to add a record amount of solar power in 2026, growing 45 percent over the previous year for the third straight record year in a row. Behind the numbers is a continent-wide shift, with companies like Ghana's Genser Energy raising major funding to expand, showing that Africa's energy story is changing faster than most people
A glacial collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border unleashed a wall of water that has killed more than 300 people and left over 1,400 missing — the deadliest disaster in the Himalayas in years, and a stark preview of what a warming mountain range can do without warning.
The UN says the planet has entered an era of "water bankruptcy." With nearly 40% of the world's shared river basins projected to face scarcity-driven conflict risk by mid-century, water is quietly shifting from an environmental issue to a geopolitical one.
A potentially very strong El Niño is creating a new food-security risk across vulnerable regions. The UN World Food Programme estimates that nearly 49 million additional people could face acute food insecurity by the end of 2027 if the weather event develops as expected. The danger is not El Niño alone: drought, erratic rainfall, conflict-driven energy and f
A new global study examining 1,758 butterfly species across 105 countries has found widespread shifts in where butterflies live, with roughly one in ten species changing their geographic range or altitude. Around 80% of the species showing shifts expanded into new areas, while about 27% experienced contractions. Researchers identify climate change and extrem
AI query you type has a water footprint — cooling the servers that process it, and the power plants that supply them electricity. As AI adoption scales into billions of daily queries, global data centre water consumption is on track to hit 9.3 trillion litres by 2030. India, home to 18 percent of the world’s population but only 4 percent of its freshwater, i
