India’s ambitious commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2070 has put carbon credit trading platforms at the forefront of its climate action strategy. These platforms are digital ecosystems designed to facilitate the buying and selling of carbon credits—certificates representing the reduction or removal of one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. By leveraging […]

Across the globe, schools are emerging as powerful hubs for environmental change, committing to sustainable practices that shape both their infrastructure and students’ values. More than 80,000 schools in 87 countries have adopted UNESCO’s recommended green school practices, with the goal of ensuring that by 2030, at least half of all schools worldwide attain green

Global green bond issuance has been growing nominally but faces immense challenges that limit its broader impact. Climate Bonds Initiative reports that green, social, sustainability, and sustainability linked (GSS+) bonds aligned with their standards have now surpassed USD 6 trillion outstanding– an extraordinary rise from roughly USD 2 billion fifteen years ago, with over USD 1 trillion growth recorded in the

The global push towards decarbonization has intensified the role of carbon credits in sustainable business strategy. Carbon credits, representing the right to emit one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent, are now a cornerstone in climate-conscious corporate frameworks. These credits serve not only as a compliance mechanism under regulatory frameworks like the EU

The circular economy is rapidly gaining momentum as a transformative solution to the global waste crisis. Unlike the conventional linear model of “take, make, dispose,” the circular economy emphasizes reducing waste, reusing materials, recycling resources, and regenerating ecosystems. This model encourages designing out waste from the outset and creating closed-loop systems that minimize environmental impact.

The circular bioeconomy built on principles of reducing waste, reusing resources, and regenerating natural systems, has emerged as a transformative strategy to meet future cross-sectoral demands. By leveraging biomass and biowaste across food, textiles, chemicals, energy, and packaging, it provides a low-carbon, resource-efficient alternative to traditional linear production systems. Recent estimates suggest that implementing circular

The State of the Climate in Asia 2024 report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) presents evidence of rapid climate change, showing that Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average. The region recorded an average temperature 1.04°C above the 1991–2020 baseline, making 2024 one of the warmest years in its recorded

Today’s environmental challenges demand a shift from the linear “take-make-dispose” model to a circular economy, where waste is minimized and resources are reused. At the heart of this transition lie three transformative practices: donating, recycling, and upcycling—each playing a pivotal role in reducing the world’s growing waste burden. Donating items such as clothing, electronics, etc.,

The global shift towards a Net-Zero future is significantly reshaping the socio-economic landscape, driven by intensified climate policies, corporate mandates, and green innovation. Over 140 countries—representing more than 88% of global emissions—have committed to net-zero targets, ushering in transformations across energy, industry, agriculture, and transport. This transition, while essential for climate mitigation, is creating employment

Glaciers, which are essential freshwater reserves for the planet, are rapidly melting due to accelerating climate change. In 2025, the United Nations declared it the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, emphasizing the urgent need to protect these crucial ecosystems that support over two billion people worldwide. Recent studies reveal that due to past and current
