"Sustainable public procurement (SPP) is increasingly recognized as a policy instrument for advancing sustainable consumption and production, yet evidence from federal developing countries remains limited," write Dr @shaillykedia, Senior Fellow and Director, TERI, and Dr Manish Anand, Senior Fellow, TERI, in the Journal of Industrial Ecology.

The article, titled “Sustainable public procurement in federal systems: Insights from India,” examines how environmental, socio-economic, and governance objectives are integrated into public procurement across national and sub-national levels in India.

I keynoted #WSDS2026 on Future Tech for People, Planet & Prosperity.

My key message was that technology must close gaps, not widen them.

For us @UNHABITAT, that means scaling innovation where it matters most, in housing, land governance, and upgrading informal settlements.

ISA at #WSDS2026 🌱

What comes after solar deployment? That question took centre stage as the ISA hosted the session “The Next Solar Frontier: Circularity, Resilience & Responsibility” at the World Sustainable Development Summit 2026.

Bringing together voices from government, industry, research, and standards bodies, the conversation explored how the energy transition must now evolve beyond installation targets toward designing systems that remain sustainable throughout their entire lifecycle.

☀️ As solar and battery deployment accelerates worldwide, the focus is shifting to building circular value chains, where materials are traceable, recoverable, and ready for reuse.

Speakers highlighted the growing importance of aligned global standards, smarter policy frameworks, and digital traceability tools that can enable safe second-life applications while strengthening supply chain resilience. The discussion also emphasised the need to expand testing and safety infrastructure, develop viable financing pathways for recycling ecosystems, and foster collaboration across countries to make circularity practical at scale.

During the session, ISA introduced its global guidelines for sustainable battery ecosystem, marking the soft launch of a framework focused on sustainable mineral use and resilient supply chains.

The guidelines promote design for disassembly, digital traceability, harmonised safety standards, stronger Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and market incentives to support responsible recycling and reuse.

Developed under ISA’s SUNRISE (Solar Upcycling Network for Recycling, Innovation & Stakeholder Engagement) platform, this draft framework advances efforts to translate circularity principles into practical implementation. 🌞

The takeaway was clear: the future of solar is not only about generating clean energy, it is also about ensuring responsibility, resilience, and resource efficiency at every stage of the journey.
