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 ...

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...
