GEM/CREA curtailment report published
Global Energy Monitor and CREA publish estimates showing 26.1% of China's combined wind and solar output was rejected, using weather-adjusted data.
Climate-driven floods in Nepal damaged 12 hydropower plants and cut over 10% of national capacity, exposing the risks of near-total reliance on glacier-fed run-of-river power. Nepal's state utility now says a rethink of hydropower policy is needed as the Himalayas warm 50% faster than the global average.
India wasted nearly 11 terawatt-hours of solar generation in 15 months — enough to power 10 million homes — while surging cooling demand strained its grid. The curtailment exposes transmission, storage, and flexibility gaps that are stalling the world's most populous country's clean-energy transition.

China rejected 360 TWh of wind and solar output in the first half of 2026 — a 49% jump — as transmission bottlenecks and coal-friendly supply contracts force grids to shed clean power. With curtailment now spreading to India, Australia, and Japan, vast zero-carbon generation is being left unused even as China's coal generation rebounds.

Nearly 8 million people were displaced within Bangladesh and India by rapid-onset climate hazards in 2024. Research from Old Podampetta and Khulna district shows planned relocation only becomes durable when shelter is paired with livelihoods, infrastructure, and legal recognition. For adaptation planners, housing alone is the failure point.

India's planned coal mining capacity nearly doubled to 638 million tonnes per annum in 2025, reinforcing coal's hold on energy policy even as climate commitments deepen. For climate professionals, the expansion signals growing emissions lock-in and strain on net-zero trajectories.
India's power grid has become a critical climate-adaptation front line as extreme heat, cyclones and floods intensify alongside surging electricity demand. The IEA recorded nearly 300 weather-related energy disruptions in 2023 affecting 210 million households, and a December 2025 IEA-CDRI MoU is now driving stakeholder work on regulation, insurance and finance to harden India's energy infrastructure.
