IPCC work on seventh climate assessment threatened by shorter timelines
Established in 1988, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been bringing out climate change assessment reports on a periodic basis. So far, it has produced six assessment reports, three special reports, as well as methodology reports that provide guidelines for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removal.
Climate Charche: Decoding Urban Climate With Geospatial Techniques
CSTEP organised a workshop in collaboration with the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum (BSF) on 12 March 2024 to enhance knowledge on geospatial technology as part of the Climate Charche series. Geospatial technology provides scientific data for analysing, mapping, and monitoring various aspects of complex urban systems that affect climate.
The Google Earth Engine (GEE) is such a tool that provides access to a comprehensive public data catalogue, allowing users to visualise and analyse spatial data effectively.
Climate Change: The Science and Story
The offline sessions of the eARTh Climate Fellowship were conducted from 14 to 16 February. Packed with eclectic experiences, the sessions, spread over three days, showcased how human intervention is essential to arrest climate change.
Senior Data Engineer

Trans-segmental cooperation is the key to implement the renewable energy initiatives announced in the Interim Budget 2024
In a welcome move, the Interim Budget 2024 provides great impetus to the rooftop solar segment through the ‘Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana’. Under this scheme, the current rooftop solar subsidy rate of 40 percent has been increased to 60 percent. Allocation for the solar power sector has seen an increase of 48 percent compared to the last year. At present, India has 11 GW of rooftop solar installations, but the major potential remains untapped.

Ahead of Time: Tracing the History of Electric Vehicles
With vehicle electrification picking up pace, the winds of change are sweeping the automotive industry. Electric vehicles (EVs) have become the buzzword in the climate space today, playing an important role in emission reduction and in achieving net-zero targets worldwide. Although EVs may seem to be a new-age technology, they indeed have a long-standing history. Here, we take a closer look at the historical twists and turns that shaped the electric mobility sector.
