India’s Coal Power Sees No Growth Over Two Years for the First Time in 50 Years: Study

Style rédactionnel, Factuel: Predominantly factual reporting based on quantitative analysis and expert statements, with limited interpretive framing.

India’s coal-power generation recorded no growth over the two years to the first half of 2026, the first such pause in more than five decades, as clean energy supplied nearly all of the increase in electricity demand. The development helped stabilize power-sector carbon dioxide emissions and reduced reliance on imported coal and gas. However, total national emissions continued to rise because of steel, cement and other industries. The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air says sustaining the trend will require expanded transmission, more flexible coal plants and rapid deployment of energy storage. With 43 GW of coal capacity still under construction and continued investment in coal gasification and domestic coking coal, India risks locking in industrial coal use despite evidence that renewables can meet new power demand.

Centre to pay Rs 2.9 crore to 2,550 Punjab, Haryana farmers who earned carbon credits

Style rédactionnel, Factuel: Predominantly factual reporting based on government statements, programme data and described farming practices.

The Centre will transfer Rs 2.9 crore to 2,550 farmers in Punjab and Haryana who earned carbon credits by using direct-seeded rice, reduced tillage and crop-residue management between 2019 and 2022. The payments come through Grow Indigo’s Aadi programme, developed with technical guidance from ICAR and verified under Verra’s VM0042 methodology. The programme estimates that participating fields saved 45 billion litres of water, prevented more than 200,000 tonnes of residue burning and avoided about 1,000 tonnes of PM2.5 emissions, supporting a broader shift toward regenerative agriculture.

For Afghan Refugees, India Is Far From a Safe Haven

Contexte politique, Centre gauche: Critiques the Indian government's policies and highlights the plight of Afghan refugees, suggesting a need for more inclusive and humanitarian approaches.

Afghan refugees in India face significant challenges due to the country's lack of legal recognition for refugees and exclusionary citizenship policies. Despite fleeing violence and persecution, many find themselves in a legal limbo, unable to secure stable employment or education for their children. The Citizenship Amendment Act, which excludes Muslims, further complicates their situation. Protests and appeals to UNHCR and Indian authorities for resettlement in refugee-friendly countries have so far been unsuccessful, leaving many refugees in a state of despair and uncertainty about their future.

I’ll Be Looking at the Moon, But I’ll Be Seeing You: a Photobook Review

Style rédactionnel, Interprétatif: Highly interpretive and subjective art criticism with philosophical commentary.

Reviews a photobook by Hari Katragadda and Shweta Upadhyay that blends photography, stitching, painting, and philosophical reflection to explore memory, desire, intimacy, and absence. The book's use of scars, stitches, and intermedia techniques challenges conventional photographic transparency and emphasizes materiality. Drawing on influences from literature, philosophy, and jazz, it frames the moon as a recurring symbol of longing and loss. Positioned within contemporary Indian photobook culture, the work is highlighted as a significant and intimate contribution that treats photography as an elegiac art form concerned with traces, wounds, and the spectral qualities of love.

Kutia Kandha Tribal Women’s Face Tattoos: Ancient Protection Ritual Faces Modern Extinction

Style rédactionnel, Informatif: Primarily factual cultural reporting with limited subjective interpretation

The Kutia Kandha tribe of southern Odisha, once known for facial tattoos used to deter rival tribes and British captors, is seeing the tradition disappear as modern beauty norms and technological exposure reshape cultural identity. Girls historically received geometrical tattoos between ages 12 and 16 using herbal inks and improvised tools, but the practice has sharply declined over the past three decades, with the associated indigenous knowledge nearly lost. Modern utensils, media influence, and changing societal interactions have further accelerated this cultural erosion.

COP17: Nature Knows No Boundaries – Neither Can Our Solutions

Style rédactionnel, Interprétatif: Advocates for integrated biodiversity and climate solutions and greater authority, funding, and representation for local communities.

Local government leaders from Coastal 500 urge policymakers to treat biodiversity conservation and climate resilience as connected challenges. They argue that healthy watersheds, forests, wetlands, mangroves, reefs, and seagrass beds support both ecosystems and local livelihoods, and describe work in Honduras linking fisheries management with land and freshwater stewardship. The authors call for local governments and communities to gain meaningful roles in national plans, improved access to finance, recognition of community rights and co-management, and cooperation across jurisdictions. They say conservation targets such as protecting 30% of the planet by 2030 should be judged by whether ecosystems function, climate risks fall, and communities and livelihoods become more resilient.

Nepal Is a Warning: Climate Adaptation Must Become a Global Priority

Style rédactionnel, Interprétatif: Advocates for treating climate adaptation as essential infrastructure and calls for greater, locally controlled funding.

The author argues that climate adaptation must receive the same urgency as emissions mitigation and be treated as essential development infrastructure. Drawing on the losses suffered by Sundari Tamang in Nepal’s floods and earlier earthquake, the article highlights how poverty, weak infrastructure and inadequate protection turn hazards into lasting human disasters. Adaptation funding falls far short of need, while resources are often controlled by large institutions rather than local communities. The author calls for accessible early warnings, anticipatory cash, climate-resilient housing, insurance and other protections, alongside long-term investment in infrastructure and ecosystem restoration. Examples from Bangladesh, India, Japan, Mozambique and Vietnam show how immediate and lasting measures can reduce harm; governments and funders should provide flexible, long-term support shaped by affected communities.
