If only this were to be true for philanthropic capital on Catalytic Finance, we would have seen much more climate investments. And much lesser number of research papers and reports.

While currency risks are a component of the wider cost of finance for cross-border flows—which gets factored into country risk—shorter-term hedging solutions would be useful for increasing international #GreenFinance flows to India: @P_Dhruba https://t.co/G4c4NE2ggZ

This is time for policy makers in MOF to think of monetizing gold in the country. Reducing gold imports is good but what can be done to use the idle stock of gold in India - there are solutions - only if government had the could think out of box.

-The politics of higher education is best understood not as a uniform process of ideological imposition but as a dynamic and contested terrain, with significant implications for academic freedom, social justice, and the future of democracy in India

This is a convinience explantation. Rupee was falling before the Iran war also, which was driven by trade deficits and net FDIs was nearly zero. So what does it mean? 1. Lack of export competiveness and 2. Not a good enough as a FDI destination.

While all these aspects of governance, Bharat missions, waste water treatment etc are surely required but not enough till India Govt understands that there is a price for water extraction .. and usage. Water needs economic regulation

Air Pollution and Climate are mostly unrelated. Climate change is 90% Carbon Dioxide which does not pollute air we breathe. EVs may make some marginal difference. But it's Sulphur Dioxide and Particulate Matter. Its best to differentiate between pollution and Climate action.

Yes RE Capacity did surge last year but far short of what is required far away from the 3X commitments made. It's time to start thinking on alternative pathways, as RE may not be enough we may still need to "burn" (oxidise )something HC or H2 or both is the key question ?

Emerging markets like #India show that investments in sectors like #renewableenergy, #digital infrastructure, and #greentechnologies drive both #growth and #sustainability. India's leadership in #solar, wind, and digital projects supports economic development, creates jobs, and enhances energy security.

@P_Dhruba and I wrote in @JagranNews India's green growth needs to be climate-resilient. India's energy transition is crucial for mitigating climate change. Equally imp is prioritising adaptation measures to safeguard lives and livelihoods and climate-related insurance solutions.
