The document details the lived experience of Melissa Fisher, a resident of Elizabeth Vale, South Australia, who suffers from Hidradenitis Suppurativa. She describes how worsening heatwaves, combined with inadequate public housing and financial hardship, create life-threatening conditions. Fisher highlights a January 2026 heatwave where indoor temperatures remained at 35 degrees Celsius at 2am, leading to respiratory distress. She advocates for government responsibility to protect vulnerable populations through the Hard Truths human rights case.

The document provides a series of key messages and indicators related to global forest governance, the distribution of clean cookstoves, the market share of certified commodities, and the drivers of forest loss.

Despite the removal of federal tax credits for clean energy upgrades via the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, residential clean technologies in the US continue to offer significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions and cost savings. Using the Green Upgrade Calculator, RMI found that electric vehicles (EVs) generally lead in emissions reductions and cost savings in the West, while air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) are most effective for emissions in the Northeast and Midwest and for savings in the South. Rooftop solar provides the highest emissions impact in Hawaii and leads in cost savings in California, Florida, and the Northeast due to high electricity prices and sunlight. The report emphasizes that the most effective state and local programs will target specific household archetypes—such as high-mileage drivers for EVs or delivered-fuel users for ASHPs—and bundle technologies to maximize synergy and savings.

A 64 kWp solar PV system with 92 kWh of battery storage installed by Burhani Solar at a school in Mombasa, Kenya, now supplies approximately 95% of the facility's electricity. The project has reduced operating costs, mitigated the impact of utility outages, and lowered the institution's carbon footprint.

The paper argues that fragmentation of trade-related climate measures (TrCMs) creates significant regulatory burdens, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises in smaller economies. It distinguishes 'interoperability'—the ability to pass useful information between systems—from 'harmonization,' suggesting that focusing on the former allows governments to reduce trade barriers while preserving policy space. The author proposes several strategies to achieve this, including alignment with international standards like ISO 14067 and IPCC guidelines, adopting flexible information systems, focusing on high-impact sectoral products (e.g., steel, aluminium, and concrete), and utilizing a structured 'top-down' approach to collaboration based on a hierarchy of regulatory objectives and principles.

A statement from the We Mean Business Coalition urging governments to establish electrification as a central economic strategy to mitigate the risks of volatile fuel markets and strengthen energy security.

Climate Central's analysis of weather data from 1970 to 2025 shows that all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments have experienced an increase in hot days (defined as $\ge$28°C). The French Open has warmed the fastest, with average temperatures rising by 3.5°C. Climate change is attributed with adding 160 extra hot days across the four events, with the U.S. Open seeing the highest absolute increase. Additionally, the frequency of heavy rain days ($\ge$10mm) has increased for the French Open, Australian Open, and Wimbledon.

The document is a legal communication submitted by ten Australian citizens alleging that the Australian government's fossil fuel export policies violate their rights to life, privacy, family, home, and culture. It argues that Australia's role as a leading exporter of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) materially contributes to the climate emergency, causing specific harms to the authors, including extreme heat, bushfires, flooding, and toxic algal blooms. The authors contend that Australia has failed its due diligence obligations under international law and that domestic legal remedies are inadequate, requesting the Committee to declare these actions incompatible with human rights obligations and recommend a phase-out of fossil fuel exports.

The GCF's fifteenth annual report highlights a record year of programming with USD 3.26 billion approved in 2025 and a total portfolio exceeding USD 20 billion. Key institutional shifts include the establishment of regional offices in Panama City, Amman, Nairobi, Abidjan, and Suva to enhance country ownership and access. The Fund reports a near-parity balance between adaptation and mitigation in nominal terms, with 59.24% of the portfolio in grant equivalent terms dedicated to adaptation. Significant progress was made in private sector engagement, reaching a cumulative USD 7.21 billion. The report also details the 'Efficient GCF' initiative to reduce project appraisal times to nine months or less and the operationalization of a revised accreditation framework.

The study concludes that an EU prohibition on deep-sea minerals is legally feasible under Article 192(1) TFEU and potentially justifiable under WTO law via Article XX GATT, provided the measure is comprehensive, non-discriminatory, and grounded in the precautionary principle.

Ember utilizes AI to accelerate the transition from concept to web tool by automating visualization and coding, allowing for rapid iteration and user feedback. While AI improves the delivery route, the final production of 'Ember-approved' tools still requires a rigorous process involving user-informed design, data architecture validation, professional front-end development, and targeted outreach.

Geelen Counterflow developed an electric industrial dryer using heat pump technology to replace fossil gas burners in the production of pet kibble and fish feed. The technology utilizes a self-cleaning heat exchanger to recover waste heat and moisture. A 2022 installation at a Cargill-Ewos plant in Norway created the world's first zero-emissions fish feed factory, reducing energy use and running costs by 75% and eliminating 3,000 tons of annual CO2 emissions. The company has since expanded installations to China, South Korea, and Thailand, targeting markets where the 'spark ratio' between electricity and gas prices makes electrification financially viable.

SKF Group has fully electrified the heating and cooling systems at its Massa factory in Italy, replacing gas-fired boilers with reversible heat pumps. This transition, integrated with a digital monitoring system, has reduced operational energy demand and lowered costs, despite high electricity prices in Italy. The factory sources 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, utilizing a virtual power purchase agreement for a solar plant in Spain and Guarantees of Origin. This project is part of a broader SKF Group strategy that has seen similar electrification and decarbonization efforts across eleven other global factories.

The document outlines the technical processes of hydraulic fracturing and its associated risks, including greenhouse gas emissions during drilling and the release of carcinogens and radioactive materials in 'produce-water'. It synthesizes literature linking UOGD to adverse birth outcomes, childhood cancers, and increased mortality. Additionally, it criticizes the Nova Scotia government's Subsurface Energy Research and Development Investment Program (SERDIP), managed by Dalhousie University, for lacking a clear health research plan and allowing the government to control the publication of findings.

The Clean Air Task Force asserts that Europe faces an "untenable policy gap" regarding fusion energy despite the 2024 Draghi Report's call for an innovation strategy. While the US, China, Great Britain, and Germany are advancing regulations and public-private partnerships, the EU lacks a cohesive strategy to transition fusion from research to industrial application. The author advocates for a strategy that targets commercialisation in the 2030s, separates fusion from fission regulations, and utilizes public resources to de-risk common technological challenges. This call is supported by a broad ecosystem, including startups and Members of the European Parliament, who demand concrete timelines and funding commitments rather than mere intentions.

The brief contends that the Department of Defense is violating the Administrative Procedure Act and statutory obligations by refusing to conduct reviews for over 100 utility-scale wind projects. It argues this freeze is a pretext for the Trump Administration's animus toward wind energy, which will result in increased electricity prices, higher pollution levels, and greater greenhouse gas emissions.

The document is an open letter from energy systems researchers supporting the modernization of the GHGP scope 2 market-based method (MBM). The authors argue that the current MBM allows companies to claim zero emissions without a physical relationship between generation and demand, thereby failing as a legitimate value chain inventory and providing minimal real-world emissions impact. They advocate for the adoption of hourly matching, deliverability, and incrementality criteria to steer procurement toward new clean energy projects and technologies like energy storage and clean firm generation. While supporting the proposed updates, the signatories suggest strengthening them with an explicit age-based incrementality requirement to close gaps where legacy clean generators operate as merchant participants.

The Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) and #PayTheGrants are challenging the South African government's appeal against a High Court ruling that found the SRD grant system unconstitutionally exclusionary. The High Court previously ruled that the online-only application and bank verification processes were illegal and that the government must increase the grant's value and means-test threshold. The IEJ argues that the current grant of R370 and a frozen means-test of R624 are insufficient given that the food poverty line is R855 per month. The document highlights a worsening socio-economic crisis, including 43.7% unemployment in Q1 2026 and rising inflation, warning that the government's failure to provide adequate social assistance could lead to social unrest.

Colombia has become the first rainforest nation to mandate nationwide cattle traceability, requiring meat companies to trace cattle to their origin to prevent deforestation. The author argues that cattle ranching is a significantly larger driver of forest loss in Colombia than coca production and calls for other South American governments and global meat companies to adopt similar traceability measures, noting that the technology is affordable and available.

A submission by a coalition of civil society organisations—including Law for Energy Transitions Africa, Natural Justice, The Green Connection, and Project 90 by 2030—providing detailed comments on the draft South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM) Code and Rules. The submission argues that the draft framework lacks sufficient alignment with constitutional rights and climate obligations, suffers from governance conflicts of interest due to the Market Operator's link to Eskom, and lacks transparency regarding costs and contracts.
