As the world heats up and extreme weather events like storms, floods, and droughts become life-or-death realities, the most critical weapon in this fight — climate adaptation finance — is falling dangerously short. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), in its latest Adaptation Gap Report 2025: “Running on Empty,” warns that developing countries will need at least $310 billion every year by 2035 to safeguard themselves from the worsening impacts of climate change. In stark contrast, actual global adaptation support in 2023 amounted to only $26 billion — a 12- to 14-fold gap between what’s needed and what’s being delivered. Adaptation Is Not an Expense — It’s a Lifeline UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a grave warning:“Climate impacts are accelerating by th...

The report highlights that the new and updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by countries cover nearly one-third of global emissions. About 88% of these NDCs were shaped by the outcomes of COP28’s Global Stocktake, while 89% include economy-wide targets. Around 73% feature climate adaptation measures, and nearly one-third now address loss and ...

K K Jha As voters in Bihar head to the polls on 6 November 2025, in the first phase of the Bihar assembly elections, the stakes could not be higher. There is no gainsaying the fact that two decades under the leadership of Nitish Kumar have delivered meaningful infrastructure and governance improvements, yet the deeper challenge remains, and that is turning those gains into quality jobs, better health, and accelerated human development. If Bihar has to leapfrog on developmental parameters, the incoming government must shift from inputs to outcomes, or risk letting another round of potential slip through. A platform built – but not yet a launch pad There’s no denying the progress. Bihar’s growth has picked up, roads and rural electrification have improved, and some investor interest...
