Dear readers,

The Earth just had its 5th-warmest September on record. The monsoon period in India is changing and may have to be redefined.

This week we learn how global warming will impact Indian states and where India’s climate hotspots are.

India’s iron and steel sector can reduce its emissions further but it needs planning, technology and funds.

India is making a green push for second-generation bioethanol.

Despite setting an emission target of Net Zero by 2070, India still has 99 coal projects in the pipeline – a 36% underutilised coal capacity in existing mines.

With COP 27 approaching, journalists may join CSE’s media briefing on November 3, to learn what is on the agenda for the climate summit.
