AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCOP31: World leaders are divided over climate action, with island states demanding steep emissions cuts and finance, Europe pushing electrification, and fossil-fuel producers defending continued oil, gas and coal use. Small-island representatives say the 1.5°C goal must remain in reach and promised funding must reach vulnerable communities. Emissions: Global fossil-fuel emissions are projected to fall 0.4% in 2026, to 42.1 billion tonnes of CO₂, helped by wind and solar growth. Researchers warn that high oil prices and conflict also contributed, making the decline no substitute for lasting climate action. Clean Energy: India’s power ministry has proposed revised bidding rules for renewable power and battery storage, inviting feedback through Nov. 25. Supply Chains: Zara owner Inditex has pledged $50 million to an IFC fund designed to help suppliers finance energy-efficient equipment and renewable power; the initiative aims to raise $400 million. Waste Cleanup: Guam’s former Ordot dump has certified that pollutant discharges into U.S. waters have ceased, marking a major step in remediation under a long-running federal consent decree.
