Green energy in India’s North East: what will it take?
This policy session looked at the policy recommendations needed to promote green energy across the North Eastern states, with The Energy Forum as Knowledge Partner.
The North East has a lot to offer the transition.

COP31 begins today in Türkiye. Despite grand promises, climate diplomacy continues to face broken commitments. @akankshajn14 & I explore this in our op-ed, highlighting India's achievement of its initial #ParisAgreement commitment under PM @narendramodi.

India is the only #G20 country to do so ahead of schedule. Can the Global North move beyond pledges & deliver on its promises?
The #COP31Türkiye will be a test of whether implementation can become d new currency of trust in Global climate diplomacy.

As the world turns its attention to #COP31, the question of who pays for the #CleanEnergy transition remains central to #GlobalClimate negotiations.
In this conversation on Theory of Change with PK, our Centre for Climate Change and Energy Transition Head, Dr @debajitpalit, joins Paresh Kumar to discuss #ClimateJustice, #ClimateFinance, coal-dependent livelihoods and the need to balance #ClimateAction with the development priorities of countries like #India.

As the world looks towards #COP31, CRF President @priyadarshi_crf underscores three imperatives for global #ClimateAction: translating #CimateFinance commitments into delivery, advancing development alongside #NetZero ambitions, and strengthening partnerships across governments and communities.
The challenge ahead lies in turning global climate ambition into tangible, inclusive outcomes.

Today, on the special occasion of RSS Sthapana Divas, my greetings to all Swayamsevaks. I also pay homage to all those greats who have nurtured the RSS over the years.
The RSS has completed a remarkable century of service, nation-building and social harmony. Countless Swayamsevaks have worked for society with a deep sense of duty and a nation-first spirit.
May this spirit keep strengthening national development in the times to come.
राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के स्थापना दिवस के विशेष अवसर पर सभी स्वयंसेवकों को मेरी हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं! मैं उन सभी विभूतियों को भी नमन करता हूं, जिन्होंने अपने अथक परिश्रम और सेवाभाव से संघ को सींचा और संवारा है।
राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ ने सेवा, राष्ट्र निर्माण और सामाजिक प्रतिबद्धता का गौरवशाली शताब्दी वर्ष पूर्ण किया है। अनगिनत स्वयंसेवकों ने अपने समर्पण, कर्तव्य-निष्ठा और राष्ट्र-प्रथम की भावना से सदैव समाज के उत्थान के लिए कार्य किया है।
मुझे विश्वास है कि यह भावना आने वाले समय में भी देश को और सशक्त एवं सुदृढ़ करेगी।

India and the European Union face a similar set of challenges in today’s complex geopolitics. Increasingly, many of the solutions are also on the same path.
Intersecting #EnergyTransition with #geoeconomics is a priority for #India and the #EuropeanUnion. In a discussion with Jean-Eric Paquet, @EUAmbIndia, and members of the European Delegation to India, the CRF President and team discussed how the two regions can further strengthen cooperation to address priorities in #Energy and #EconomicSecurity, #Sovereignty, and #Autonomy.
A few key themes stood out during the discussion:
- De-risking critical mineral supply chains and strategic cooperation
- Moving towards a deeper integration for #EUFTA implementation
- Prioritising energy, national and energy security through trilateral and minilateral partnerships
Ultimately, the next phase of #IndiaEU cooperation will depend on translating shared strategic interests into tangible outcomes through investments, technology partnerships, and coordinated policy action.

We explore, based on our work at @ChintanResearch, why the #GlobalSouth needs a distinct climate perspective - one that recognises the principles of #CBDR, prioritises systemic transitions & locally relevant adaptation & addresses the persistent gaps in equitable #climatefinance.

A key Q is how to ensure finance reaches most vulnerable, esp when adaptation continues to receive less attention than mitigation.
#Climateaction must go beyond reducing emissions. It must also protect livelihoods, build resilience & enable countries to pursue development agenda.
