Can carbon capture solve the climate crisis?
In its Climate Change 2023 synthesis report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) mentions the "use of CCS in remaining fossil fuel systems" as one of the major changes we need to make to achieve net zero in our energy systems. While it was first conceived as a way to reduce carbon emissions as early as the 1970s, investments in carbon capture and storage have seen a sharp uptick lately. But does carbon capture and storage simply give us a get-out-of-jail card to keep emitting?

This brief explores the need for, benefits of, and strategies to align developing countries' financing strategies for adaptation with other national financing strategies.
How fossil fuel subsidies are hurting the energy transition
G20 leaders are preparing to meet in New Delhi on Sept. 9-10, where action to tackle climate change and boost clean energy will be on the agenda—but recent reports have exposed how the world’s most powerful nations are still pouring huge amounts of money into supporting the production and use of fossil fuels. Analysis from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) shows that G20 governments provided a record US$1.4 trillion to subsidize climate-heating fossil fuels in 2022.
India's renewable energy ambitions could exceed 500 GW: ISA
India is poised not only to achieve its ambitious target of 500-gigawatts renewable energy capacity by 2030 but also surpass it, driven by an anticipated decline in battery prices by 2025, according to Ajay Mathur, Director General of the International Solar Alliance. Mathur said a fall in battery prices by 2025 could drive the widespread adoption of solar plus battery solutions, leading to the realization of India's ambitious target of installing 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030—one of the five commitments Prime Minister Narendra Modi made during the 2021 Glasgow climate talks.
