We are living in India the most unequal society in the world.

Unplanned urban expansion on floodplains reduces the carrying capacity of rivers & streams, exacerbating #urbanflooding. This #WorldRiversDay, we look at the Jhelum River in the Kashmir valley. #EcoCityRegions (1/2)

#Animation shows growth of night lights in India's largest 6 #cities over 30 years (1992 - 2021)

This #WorldHabitatDay, we look at major job centers in Tamil Nadu and pattern of inter-city and inter-state migrations. Our maps show how those who migrate are exposed to different dimensions and degree of climate risks like heat stress and heavy precipitation #EcoCityRegions

An efficient bus lanes can fix the Bengaluru's traffic crisis. In 2019, the city tried its first bus lane, but it got removed. However, our recent report revealed that many people who used the bus lane found that it made their trips faster. read more here shorturl.at/arAH7

As part of our #EcoCityRegions initiative, WRI India visited Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) & engaged with decision makers, officers, & stakeholders. We will be supporting the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) in co-creating a regional strategy and improving its capacity.

A crucial missing link on the Purple Line of Bangalore Metro was connected last month. The expectation was the commute would become seamless. Instead, an overflowing surge in ridership has turned the tables on the existing system. But why?

We made a map to help people navigate Majestic better :)

Bangalore's traffic is god-awful. Multiple technologies have been tried to solve the problem, but to no avail. Now, under the purview of a tech-savvy IPS officer, the Bangalore Traffic Police are implementing an integrated traffic management system and adaptive signalling. 1/3

Here's a compilation of my #maps which can help you in understanding the #Bengaluru #Water situation a bit better. Bengaluru is unofficially a hill station which is located nearly a kilometre above sea level.

Very eye-opening to see who's leading the way on clean energy investment – and who's leading on fossil fuels China: Clean energy investment 3.7x fossil fuels Europe: 5.5x more in clean energy N America: Biggest investor in fossil fuels Middle East: 5.4x more on fossil fuels

OUT TODAY: New analysis into how wind power is doing globally. It seems wind is on a pathway to double from 1000GW in 2023 to 2000GW in 2030. Our analysis of national targets adds up to industry forecasts, which are fairly aligned from GWEC, BNEF and IEA 🧵

The most off-track are US and India.

And sooooo many countries (in grey) have no targets laid out for wind. Wind is far from a completely global industry yet. In fact only 56 countries have explicit wind targets for 2030.

Elon 2023 vs Elon 2024. 🤯🤮

It’s 2024 and Indian women are still not allowed to be inside rooms where they’re talking about us and our lives are at stake

The IEA's #1 flagship report, and the bible of the energy transition. So, what's new? My key takeaways...

NEW | World surpasses 40% clean power in 2024, driven by a RECORD rise in renewables 📈 Solar has DOUBLED in just three years, remaining the world’s fastest-growing source of new electricity and the engine of the energy transition ⚡ ember-energy.org/latest-insight… #GER2025

At Ember our mission is to democratize energy data. This also means not gatekeeping it behind complex data files or technical barriers. We published our original Electricity Data Explorer in 2022. Now, we finally have a new version 🎉 More accessible, more powerful!

India's ⚡️ generation from coal in April 2025 dropped well below generation in 2024, a rare sight in a country with fast rising electricity demand. Reasons: - Milder temperatures than during excessive heat in 2024 - Strong solar growth (+32% yoy) - Good hydro and wind output
