The Indonesia Power Sector Finance Dashboard (2019-2023) analyzes investment trends in renewable energy (RE) and fossil fuel (FF) power plants, highlighting a significant funding gap for 2030 climate targets and a continued reliance on fossil fuel investments, particularly for industrial captive power.

The 'Resilience Science Must-Knows' report, a collaboration between the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Global Resilience Partnership, and Future Earth, distills decades of resilience science into nine broad, actionable principles designed for decision-makers across various sectors and scales to help societies cope, adapt, and transform amid increasing global volatility.

This synthesis report discusses the role of South Africa's 2025 G20 presidency in advancing the 'just transition' agenda, building upon a Ministerial Statement from October 2024 that emphasizes structural actions in national economies and the international financial system to scale up climate action.

A statement by Friends of the Earth International asserting that a lasting peace requires Palestinian sovereignty, liberation, and accountability for crimes committed over the last 48 months, while highlighting ongoing humanitarian and environmental crises in Gaza and the West Bank.

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for an end to atrocities in Palestine, the cessation of the Israeli occupation, and the establishment of full Palestinian sovereignty as prerequisites for a lasting peace.

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for the liberation of Palestine, the end of Israeli occupation, and the establishment of full Palestinian sovereignty. The document argues that current ceasefires are ineffective, humanitarian conditions remain catastrophic, and environmental damage is extensive.

A guide published by CIEL and other organizations detailing how the International Court of Justice's July 2025 Advisory Opinion on climate change obligations can be used by negotiators at COP30 to increase climate ambition and accountability.

The NewClimate Institute's 2025 update evaluates the progress of 25 major emitters, representing over 80% of global emissions, toward their climate mitigation targets. The report finds that while total emissions under current policies may peak by 2026, the projected reductions are insufficient to meet the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal, which requires a 43% reduction by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.

Plan 1.5 issued a statement criticizing the South Korean government's proposed 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets, arguing they are unconstitutional and fail to meet minimum standards set by a previous Constitutional Court ruling.

This policy brief by RMI proposes a framework for service line non-pipeline alternatives (NPAs) to reduce the high costs of replacing aging gas service lines in the United States. While most NPAs focus on larger gas mains, RMI suggests that targeting the smaller lines connecting buildings to the system can save ratepayers money and accelerate electrification by providing financial incentives for customers to disconnect from the gas grid.

This report by RMI examines how utilities and regulators in the United States are using large load tariffs to prevent the costs of serving new, high-demand electricity users—particularly data centers—from being shifted to other ratepayers. The analysis of 65 state-level tariffs identifies five common safeguard provisions: minimum contract terms, minimum monthly billing demands, collateral requirements, exit fees, and capacity reassignment.

This report by RMI examines how public utility commissions in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and New York use different cost allocation strategies during proactive distribution planning to balance grid investment needs with customer affordability during the electrification of buildings and transportation.

This research paper argues that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) must align its pursuit of economic structural transformation with economic sovereignty to regain credibility among its citizens. It highlights the region's potential to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in critical minerals and renewable energy while warning that overdependence on external funding and fragmented infrastructure hinder sustainable growth.

The document concludes that while renewable energy additions are expected to set records in 2025, current national targets and policy support are insufficient to guarantee the global tripling of renewables by 2030, particularly regarding wind energy and supporting infrastructure like grids and storage.

A report by Ember analyzing the current state and outlook of Indonesia's coal sector, noting a shift from record production levels toward a projected decline in 2025 driven by weakening export demand from major partners like China and India.

Global renewable capacity additions are forecast to reach a record 793 GW in 2025, an 11% increase from 2024. This growth is primarily driven by solar energy and the dominant role of China, which is expected to account for 66% of global solar and 69% of global wind installations in 2025.

An Ember report analyzing national renewable energy targets for 2030 finds that global ambition remains aligned with a doubling of capacity rather than the tripling goal set at COP28. Despite record deployment, aggregate targets have only increased by 8% since COP28, with significant gaps remaining in both solar and wind ambitions compared to the tripling scenario.

This report by Ember analyzes the progress toward the COP28 goal of tripling global renewable energy capacity to 11 TW by 2030. While rapid deployment between 2023 and 2025 has reduced the required annual growth rate for subsequent years, IEA forecasts suggest a potential shortfall by 2030, primarily driven by wind and hydro capacity gaps and policy changes in the US and China.

This report by Ember examines the surge in coal mine methane (CMM) emissions in Indonesia, arguing that official government figures significantly understate the actual emissions due to flawed reporting systems and the exclusion of underground mines.

This report by Ember analyzes the economic and environmental consequences of Indonesia's coal over-expansion. It finds that while production hit record highs in 2024, shrinking demand from major importers like China and India, coupled with rising production costs, is eroding company profits and state revenues. Additionally, the report highlights a significant underreporting of coal mine methane (CMM) emissions, which are projected to increase by 25% by 2030 due to the expansion of underground mining.
