@rishpardikar@EmergingRoy To me Rathin and Montek seem to be converging, large countries like India are to fend for themselves in getting climate finance!
Response from EU when developing countries asked for concessions was a clear no. Now we see news that CBAM revenue will be used to compensate EU exporters & exceptions are being carved out for US industry too. Amazing. CBAM as a tool to specifically screw over poorer countries
China plans to build the world's largest dam, thrice the size of current largest. Report on flooding risks downstream & transparency concerns + comments from a representative of Tibetan govt-in-exile in India about the land being scared for the community

It takes a lot of effort to figure out the multiple drivers behind Himalayan disasters. Doing so is necessary to ensure the right adaptation policies are framed and future disasters are mitigated. Lazy attributions to climate change are both distracting and unhelpful
This was the second-most covered climate paper in media last year. Indian media, too, covered it uncritically. Looks like it might be retracted soon. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And media is not trained to assess such evidence

My article in @the_hindu - India’s presence amid a broken template of geopolitics
To get its economic and technological trajectory right, India needs to get its geopolitics right
It is time for India to punch it’s weight and enhance its global presence
@rishpardikar Thats why Climate Finance is key to any energy transition in the Third World but all we hear from the Developed World is ‘Do what we say and not what we do’☺️
