Most of the world’s top EV battery makers are failing to set strong climate targets, particularly for adopting 100% renewable electricity and cutting supply chain emissions. While companies like CATL, LG Energy Solution, and Panasonic Energy have set such goals, the majority still lack commitments, leaving their production reliant on fossil fuels. Manufacturers must shift rapidly to renewables, set supplier reduction targets, and use recycled materials to genuinely support the global low-carbon transition..

The Greenpeace India story “The Journey of Shade” highlights how Delhi’s street vendors, who endure extreme summer heat without relief, found respite through community-driven innovation. Initially exploring upcycled sarees for market canopies, the project shifted to sustainable fabric woven from old woollens by Moradabad weavers, in collaboration with Goonj. Residents’ Welfare Associations and citizens donated knitwear, symbolizing solidarity with vendors often marginalized in city life. Installed in markets like Burari and Meena Bazaar, the canopies not only provided shade but also boosted morale, footfall, and community support. Beyond heat relief, they became symbols of dignity, resilience, and collective care.

Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, is facing chronic water shortages as its population outpaces supply from reservoirs, groundwater, and pipelines. Once water-rich, the city now struggles with poor infrastructure, mismanagement, and rapid urbanization, leaving many residents dependent on costly water tankers. Climate change, deforestation, and reduced rainfall worsen the crisis, while conflicts over water distribution deepen public frustration. Authorities have proposed new dams, pipelines, and conservation measures, but progress is slow. Without urgent reforms in governance, infrastructure, and climate resilience, Islamabad risks intensifying shortages that threaten its sustainability and quality of life.
