AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoCOP31: World leaders opened climate talks in Türkiye with pressure to turn promises into action. The host’s headline proposal would raise electricity’s share of global energy use to 35% by 2035, while Pacific nations demand faster fossil-fuel cuts and more climate finance. Climate Risks: New research warns sea-level rise could inundate parts of the habitats of more than 42% of land vertebrate species by century’s end; most identified refuge areas are unprotected. UN analysis also says gaps in disaster-warning readiness and funding threaten efforts to prepare communities for worsening extremes. Emissions: Global fossil-fuel emissions are projected to dip 0.4% in 2026, but the decline is linked partly to the Iran war’s disruption of oil supplies, not a durable climate breakthrough. India’s emissions are forecast to rise 4.4%. Dirty Air: Delhi’s post-Diwali smog remains severe, as India’s pollution board reviews its monitoring system after readings above its 1,000-µg/m³ measurement limit were excluded from AQI calculations, leaving gaps during the worst spike.
